%N Number of excedances (parts above the diagonal) of the n-th composition in standard order.

%C The k-th composition in standard order (graded reverse-lexicographic, 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. See also A000120, A059893, A070939, A114994, A225620.

%e The 5392th composition in standard order is (2,2,4,5), with excedances {1,3,4}, so a(5392) = 3.
