COMMENT

Sort the digits of an integer and subtract the result from the original. Continue with the result until you reach 0. The sequence gives the least integer that needs n steps to reach 0.

EXAMPLE

60 is the smallest number that needs 3 steps to reach 0: 60 -> 60 - 06 = 54 -> 54 - 45 = 9 -> 9 - 9 = 0, hence a(3) = 60.
