Table of n, a(n) for n=1..93.

FORMULA

a(n) = n - 2pi(n). [Wesley Ivan Hurt, Jun 16 2013]

EXAMPLE

a(7)=-1 because there are 3 nonprimes <=7 (1,4 and 6) and 4 primes <=7 (2,3,5 and 7).

MAPLE

with(numtheory): seq(n-2*pi(n), n=1..93); - Emeric Deutsch, Apr 01 2006

MATHEMATICA

qp=0; lst={}; Do[If[PrimeQ[n], AppendTo[lst, qp-=1], AppendTo[lst, qp+=1]], {n, 6!}]; lst [From Vladimir Joseph Stephan Orlovsky, Mar 15 2010]

PROG

(PARI) compsmprimes(n) = { for(x=1, n, y=composites(x) - pi(x); print1(y", ") ) } \The number of composite numbers less than or equal to n composites(n) = { local(c, x); c=0; for(x=1, n, if(!isprime(x), c++); ); return(c) } \pi(x) prime count function pi(n) = { local(c, x); c=0; forprime(x=1, n, c++); return(c) }

CROSSREFS

(Number of composites <= n) - (number of primes <= n) is A072731. a(n)=1+A072731(n).
