Summary: Neighbor designs are useful to remove the neighbor effects. In this article, an algorithm is developed and is coded in Visual \(C++\) to generate the initial block for possible first, second, \(\ldots\) , and all order neighbor designs. To get the required design, a block \((0, 1, 2,\ldots , k-1)\) is then augmented with \((v-1)\) blocks obtained by developing the initial block cyclically mod \((v-1)\).
