%N Number of neighbors of the n-th term in a full square array read by antidiagonals.

%C Apart from the first row and the first column, the rest of the elements are 8's.

%C For the same idea but for a right triangle see A278480; for an isosceles triangle see A278481; for a square spiral see A010731; and for a hexagonal spiral see A010722.
