%N Difference between nonprime(n+2) and nonprime(n).

%C "nonprime(n)" is used for "n-th nonprime". Here the nonprimes start at 0 (see A141468), so nonprime(1) to nonprime(15) are 0, 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 20, 21, 22.

%F a(n) = A141468(n+2)-A141468(n).

%e nonprime(1+2)-nonprime(1) = 4-0; so a(1) = 4.

%e nonprime(5+2)-nonprime(5) = 10-8; so a(5) = 2.

%e nonprime(11+2)-nonprime(11) = 20-16; so a(11) = 4.
