[seqfan] Re: Numbers that are the sum of x nonzero y-th powers

[David Corneth]

Thanks, I'll try those code samples. I'd prefer the sprintf over strprintf
for backwards compatibility though I wouldn't change a thing at all and
just keep 'Strprintf'. I used a comparison function to order the sequences
but just typing 2 is much easier, thanks.
 I have no more edits for A003332 but I thought I leave it in editing as I
didn't start editing there and I don't have the last edit. But then again
maybe my 'the editing is done' is a bit fast, it's that I have no more
edits. But I thought there was some global editing perhaps?
