0 bonanova Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 I kept reading this as, what is the index of the first term whose index is equal to 1? Argh. It's what is the index of the first term whose value is equal to 1. So now I ask, is that term 1 or is it 0001? That is are the terms simple numbers? or are they 4-tuples?
