%N Number of ways to choose four collinear points from an n X n grid.

%H Tomas Rokicki and Tom Duff, <a href="/A178256/b178256.txt">Table of n, a(n) for n = 1..1000</a> (First 48 terms from R. H. Hardin.)

%e a(1) = a(2) = a(3) = 0 since there are no collinear point quadruples

%e a(4) = 4 rows + 4 columns + 2 diagonals = 10

%e a(5) = binomial(5,4)*(5 rows + 5 columns + 2 diagonals) + 4 secondary diagonals = 64

%e a(6) = binomial(6,4)*(6 rows + 6 columns + 2 diagonals) + binomial(5,4)*(4 secondary diagonals) + 4 third diagonals = 234

%Y Cf. A000938, A157882.

%Y This is the main diagonal of A334708.

%K nonn

%O 1,4
