Bijective numeration is a way of representing integers in a unique format that avoids the use of zero. In this system, every positive integer is mapped to a unique sequence of symbols, typically using a specific base \\( b \\), but instead of using the conventional digits \\( 0, 1, 2, \\ldots, b-1 \\), it uses the digits \\( 1, 2, \\ldots, b \\).
