%N a(n) is the minimum odd number that must be appended to n to form a prime.
%C This is really a duplicate of A068695. See that entry for existence proof. - _N. J. A. Sloane_, Nov 07 2020
%C Note that of course a(n) is not allowed to begin with 0.
%C Many numbers become prime by appending a one-digit odd number. Some numbers (such as 20, 32, 51, etc.) require a 2 digit odd number (A032352 has these). In the first 100,000 values of n there are only 22 that require a 3 digit odd number (A091089). There probably are some values that require odd numbers of 4 or more digits, but these are likely to be very large.

%e a(0)=3 because 3 is the minimum odd number which when appended to 0 forms a prime (03 = 3 = prime).
%e a(20)=11 because 11 is the minimum odd number which when appended to 20 forms a prime (201, 203, 205, 207, 209 are all nonprime, 2011 is prime).

%Y Essentially the same as A068695, which is the main entry for this sequence.
%Y Cf. A032352 (a(n) requires at least a 2 digit odd number), A091089 (a(n) requires at least a 3 digit odd number).
