%N a(0) = 0; thereafter a(n) is the number of times the last digit of a(n-1) has occurred as last digit in all terms prior to a(n-1).

%C If d is the last digit of a(n-1), and d has occurred as last digit of a(j), 0 <= j < n-1, a total of k times, then a(n) = k (compare with A248034).

%H Michael De Vlieger, <a href="/A364788/a364788.png">Scatterplot of a(n)</a>, n = 0..1024, with a color function showing r = a(n-1) mod 10 in black if r = 0, red if r = 1, ..., magenta if r = 9.

%e a(1) = 0 because a(0) = 0 has been repeated 0 times. a(2) = 1 because a(1) = 0 has been repeated once.

%e a(22) = 11 has last digit 1, and there has been only one occurrence of a prior term having 1 as last digit (a(2) = 1), therefore a(23) = 1.

%e a(53) = 2 (last digit is 2) and there are 9 prior terms with last digit = 2 (8 terms = 2, and a(40) = 12). Therefore a(54) = 9.
