%N If A079559(n) = 1, a(n) = A213714(n) - 1, otherwise a(n) = A234017(n).

%C In other words, if n = A005187(k) for some k >= 1, then a(n) = k-1, otherwise it must be that n = A055938(h) for some h, and then a(n) = h.

%C In binary trees like A233276 and A233278, a(n) gives the contents at the parent node of node containing n, for any n >= 1.

%C When iterating a(n), a(a(n)), a(a(a(n))), and so on, A070939(n) = A256478(n) + A256479(n) = A257248(n) + A257249(n) gives the number of steps needed to reach zero, from any starting value n >= 1.
