Cantor Expansion Addition algorithm?

[raross]

Could someone help me and write an algorithm to add 2 Cantor expansions. The algorithm to get a decimal number to cantor expansion is:

procedure decimal-to-cantor(x: positive integer)
n := 1
y := x fy is a temporary variable used so that
this procedure won't destroy the original value of x.g
while y 6= 0
begin
an := y mod (n+1)
y := (y-an )/(n+1)
n := n + 1
end
f The expansion for x will be an n! + an−1 (n-1)! + : : : + a22! + a1 . g

Now i just need to figure out how to add 2 cantor expansion numbers together to get one. Someone help please!

How come no one can help me ? =/

Well, I can't because I've never heard of a Cantor expansion before (at least not by that name).
