Integer compositions, cyclic compositions, and lately k-compositions, are an important topic in combinatorics and number theory. In this paper, we will explain, the general approach of using generating functions to study number sequences involving compositions, cyclic compositions, k-compositions, and the number of parts in each of them. After generating the data, some properties are observed and proved. Also, some interesting bijections involving Pell numbers and the Jacobsthal sequence are given.
