%N Zero-based column index to irregular tables organized as successively larger square matrices.

%C With sequences constructed of successively larger square matrices (cf. A074279), a(n) will return the distance of n from the left edge of the matrix that n is located in, with 0 standing for the leftmost column (please see the Example section).

%C A237452 gives the corresponding row index.

%C A238013 and A121997 give these same row and column indices, starting the numbering with index 1. - M. F. Hasler, Feb 17 2014
