COMMENTS
By analogy with the Copeland-Erdős constant 0.2357111317... given by concatenating the base-10 expansions of consecutive entries of the sequence of prime numbers, the so-called "prime-counting Copeland-Erdős constant" 0.0122...9101011... is defined similarly, but with the use of the prime-counting function in place of the prime number sequence.

The prime-counting function evaluated at 1 is 0, so a(0) = 0, and the first digit after the decimal point of the prime-counting Copeland-Erdős constant is 0.
