Year-end appeal: Please make a donation to the OEIS Foundation to support ongoing development and maintenance of the OEIS. We are now in our 61st year, we have over 378,000 sequences, and we’ve reached 11,000 citations (which often say “discovered thanks to the OEIS”).

EXAMPLE
a(0) = 0
a(1) = 10 (from digit 0 in a(0)=0, smallest integer other than 0).
a(2) = 1 (from digit 1 in a(1)=10, smallest integer other than 10).
a(3) = 20 (from digit 0 in a(1)=10, smallest integer other than 0 and 10).
a(4) = 11 (from digit 1 in a(2)=1, smallest integer other than 1 and 10).
a(5) = 2 (from digit 2 in a(3)=20, smallest integer other than 20).
a(6) = 30 (from digit 0 in a(3)=20, smallest integer other than 0, 10, and 20).
