Recaman's Sequence

Recaman's Sequence is a DSA topic. In plain words you use it for a short Recaman's Sequence example in a short dry-run on paper. Don’t start with a slogan — start with that picture.

Smallest example: the smallest Recaman's Sequence example you can type. Type it, run it, and say what you see. If you can do that from memory, you know Recaman's Sequence.

From the example next to this theory — Recaman's Sequence: dry-run [4, 1, 3].

Trap — only saying “Recaman's Sequence” with no example. Fix that before you talk about advanced DSA.

Viva — what is Recaman's Sequence? Then show the smallest Recaman's Sequence example you can type. Then name the trap.

Exam tip

What is Recaman's Sequence? Show this: the smallest Recaman's Sequence example you can type. Trap: only saying “Recaman's Sequence” with no example.

Example

# Recaman's Sequence
data = [4, 1, 3]
print("start", data)
if data[0] > data[1]:
    data[0], data[1] = data[1], data[0]
print("after one step", data)

Recaman's Sequence: dry-run [4, 1, 3]. Say the list after one step.
