For example, if we want to calculate the value of $\texttt{succ}(x,11)$,
we first form the representation $11=8+2+1$.
Using that,
\[f(x,11)=f(f(f(x,8),2),1).\]
\[\texttt{succ}(x,11)=\texttt{succ}(\texttt{succ}(\texttt{succ}(x,8),2),1).\]
For example, in the previous graph

\[\texttt{succ}(4,11)=\texttt{succ}(\texttt{succ}(\texttt{succ}(4,8),2),1)=5.\]

$O(\log k)$ parts, so calculating a value of $f(x,k)$
