COMMENTS
| The following sequences all appear to have the same parity (with an extra zero term at the start of A010051): A010051, A061007, A035026, A069754, A071574. - Jeremy Gardiner (jeremy.gardiner(AT)btinternet.com), Aug 09, 2002

FORMULA
| When n is prime, a(n) = 2 pi(n) - 3. When n is composite, a(n) = 2 pi(n) - 2. pi(n) is the prime counting function A000720.
|
|
|
EXAMPLE
| a(6)=4 because there are 4 transitions: 1 to 2, 3 to 4, 4 to 5 and 5 to 6
