# --description--
|
||
|
||
An infinite sequence of real numbers $a(n)$ is defined for all integers $n$ as follows:
|
||
|
||
$$ a(n) =
|
||
\begin{cases}
|
||
1 & n < 0 \\\\
|
||
\displaystyle \sum_{i = 1}^{\infty} \frac{a(n - 1)}{i!} & n \ge 0
|
||
\end{cases}
|
||
$$
|
||
|
||
For example,
|
||
|
||
$$\begin{align}
|
||
& a(0) = \frac{1}{1!} + \frac{1}{2!} + \frac{1}{3!} + \ldots = e − 1 \\\\
|
||
& a(1) = \frac{e − 1}{1!} + \frac{1}{2!} + \frac{1}{3!} + \ldots = 2e − 3 \\\\
|
||
& a(2) = \frac{2e − 3}{1!} + \frac{e − 1}{2!} + \frac{1}{3!} + \ldots = \frac{7}{2} e − 6
|
||
\end{align}$$
|
||
|
||
with $e = 2.7182818\ldots$ being Euler's constant.
|
||
|
||
It can be shown that $a(n)$ is of the form $\displaystyle\frac{A(n)e + B(n)}{n!}$ for integers $A(n)$ and $B(n)$.
|
||
|
||
For example $\displaystyle a(10) = \frac{328161643e − 652694486}{10!}$.
|
||
|
||
Find $A({10}^9)$ + $B({10}^9)$ and give your answer $\bmod 77\\,777\\,777$.

# --hints--
|
||
|
||
`eulersNumber()` should return `15955822`.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
assert.strictEqual(eulersNumber(), 15955822);
|
||
```
