Halp ASAP!!!

If I understood your question, then:

a=1;b=2^a;c=2^(a+1)*b;printc,", ",;a++;if(a<24, goto1, 0)

1, 2, 8 , 32 , 128 , 512 , 2048 , 8192 , 32768 , 131072 , 524288 , 2097152 , 8388608 , 33554432 , 134217728 , 536870912 , 2147483648 , 8589934592 , 3 4359738368 , 13 7438953472 , 54 9755813888 , 219 9023255552 , 8,796,093,022,208, which is the 23rd term = 2^43

Thanks. That makes sense, but that seems extremely big!

Can you figure out the 2nd and the 3rd terms, then I will have a better understanding of it?

I think this is a trick question.

$a_{23}=a_{22+1}\\ so \\n=22$

p=23/2*22=253 though

I work it out with the help of an AP sum formula.

Thanks, that makes sense! But why would you divide 23 by 2??
