FORMULA
a(n) = Sum_{k = A255062(n) .. A255061(n+1)} A254114(k).
a(n) = Sum_{k = A255062(n) .. A255061(n+1)} A010060(A255066(k)).
Other identities. For all n >= 1:
a(n) = A255071(n) - A255063(n).
EXAMPLE
For n=0 we count the odious numbers (A000069) found in range A255056(0..0), and A255056(0) = 0 is not an odious number, thus a(0) = 0.
For n=1 we count the odious numbers in range A255056(1..1), and A255056(1) = 2 is an odious number, thus a(1) = 1.
For n=2 we look at the numbers in range A255056(2..3), i.e. 4 and 6 and while 4 is an odious number, 6 is not, thus a(2) = 1.
For n=5 we look at the numbers in range A255056(12..20) which are (32, 36, 42, 46, 50, 54, 58, 60, 62), or if we take them in the order the come when iterating A236840 (as in A255066(12..20): 62, 60, 58, 54, 50, 46, 42, 36, 32), that is, we start iterating with map m(n) = A236840(n) from the initial value (2^(5+1))-2 = 62. Thus we get m(62) = 60, m(60) = 58, m(58) = 54, m(54) = 50, m(50) = 46, m(46) = 42, m(42) = 36 and finally m(36) = 32 which is (2^5). Of the nine numbers encountered, only 62, 50, 42 and 32 are odious numbers, thus a(5) = 4.
