%N Minimal number of editing steps (delete, insert or substitute) to transform the binary representation of n into that of A007918(n), the least prime not less than n.

%C Delete steps are not necessary;

%C a(n) = 0 iff n is prime: a(A000040(n))=0;

%C a(A171401(n)) = 1;

%C A171402 gives smallest numbers m such that a(m)=n: a(A171402(n))=n.
