“~J“6j”OH*"’ÆḊḞ
Try it online! or verify all test cases.
How it works
“~J“6j”OH*"’ÆḊḞ Main link. Argument: n
“~J“6j” Yield ['~J', '6j'].
O Ordinal; replace the characters with it code points.
This yields [[126, 74], [54, 106]].
H Halve, yielding [[63, 37], [27, 53]].
’ Yield n-1.
*" Exponentiation (zipwith); elevate 63 and 37 to the power n-1.
ÆḊ Take the determinant of the matrix
[[63 ** (n-1), 37 ** (n-1)], [27, 53]], thus yielding
63 ** (n-1) * 53 - 37 ** (n-1) * 27.
Ḟ Floor; round the result down to the nearest integer.
This is required for n = 0.
