%N Number of distinct parts in the n-th composition in standard order.

%C A composition of n is a finite sequence of positive integers summing to n. The k-th composition in standard order (row k of A066099) is obtained by taking the set of positions of 1's in the reversed binary expansion of k, prepending 0, taking first differences, and reversing again. This gives a bijective correspondence between nonnegative integers and integer compositions.

%e The 77th composition is (3,1,2,1), so a(77) = 3.
