Construct a sequence that visits the numbers 0,1,5 infinitely often.?
A sequence Sn visits a number A when for infinitely many n in N, Sn = A. Example: The sequence (-1)^n visits -1 and 1 infinitely.

0,-1,1,0,-1,1,-2,2,0,-1,1,-2,2,-3,3,0,-1,1,-2,2,-3,3,-4,4,... visits all integers infinitely often.

This sequence doesn't contain even one zero. There must be a typo or something! Oh! I get It Sum 1,4,-5 = 0 etc/
