  下一個數字：
      next(abcd)
      
  不是：「a 不用動，然後在 bcd 內找下一個數字」
      a + next(bcd)
      
  不然就是：「從 bcd 調一個剛好比 a 大的數字上來，然後剩下數字由小到大排」
      b + first(acd) = f(abcd)
      
  也就是：(n 代表 next)
      n(a)  = undefined (x)
      
      n(ab) = a+n(b) || f(ab)
            =    x   || f(ab) 
            =           f(ab)
      ⭐️ 從此例知道：我們只要定義 n(a) = undefined，其他狀況都會自動推演。
      
      n(abcd) 
      = a+n(bcd) || f(abcd)
      = a+(b+n(cd) || f(bcd)) || f(abcd)
