Table of n, a(n) for n=4..63.

FORMULA

Straddle primes are the nearest primes preceding and following composite n.

EXAMPLE

The first straddle prime pair is 3 and 5 which straddles the composite number 4 and 3+5 = 8 the first entry in the table.

PROG

(PARI) \Straddle primes - largest prime preceding composite n and smallest \prime following n. strad(n) = { local (x, y, pp, np); for(x=1, n, y=composite(x); pp=precprime(y); np=nextprime(y); print1(pp+np", ") ) composite(n) = \ The n-th composite number. 1 is defined as neither prime nor composite. { local(c, x); c=1; x=1; while(c <= n, x++; if(!isprime(x), c++); ); return(x) } }
