Given a base $b$ , concatenate the base $b$ representations of the first $n$ primes into a single integer, placing the first prime as the most significant digit(s) and the $n$ th prime as the least significant digit(s). This is the Smarandache-Wellin number
$S_n$ .
For example, in base 10, $S_8$ is 235711131719, the concatenation of the strings ``2'', ``3'', ``5'', ``7'', ``11'', ``13'', ``17'' and ``19'' reinterpreted as a single integer.
Placing a decimal point immediately preceding a base 10 Smarandache-Wellin number turns it into an approximation of the Copeland-Erdos constant.
