problem

In the sequence 20012001, 20022002, 20032003, …\ldots , each term after the third is found by subtracting the previous term from the sum of the two terms that precede that term. For example, the fourth term is 2001+2002−2003=20002001 + 2002 - 2003 = 2000. What is the $2004^\textrm{th}$ term in this sequence?
