%N a(n) is the zero-based index of the second least significant 1-bit in the base-2 representation of n, or 0 if there are fewer than two 1-bits in n.

%F If A000120(n) < 2, a(n) = 0, otherwise a(n) = A007814(A129760(n)) = A007814(n AND (n-1)). [Where AND is bitwise-and, A004198].
%F From _Jeffrey Shallit_, Apr 19 2020: (Start)
%F This is a 2-regular sequence, satisfying the identities
%F a(4n) = -a(n) + a(2n),
%F a(4n+2) = a(4n+1),
%F a(8n+1) = -a(2n+1) + 2a(4n+1),
%F a(8n+3) = a(4n+3),
%F a(8n+5) = 2a(4n+3),
%F a(8n+7) = a(4n+3). (End)
%e For n = 3, "11" in binary, the second least significant 1-bit (the second 1-bit from the right) is at position 1 (when the rightmost position is position 0), thus a(3) = 1.
%e For n = 4, "100" in binary, there is just one 1-bit present, thus a(4) = 0.
%e For n = 5, "101" in binary, the second 1-bit from the right is at position 2, thus a(5) = 2.
%e For n = 25, "11001" in binary, the second 1-bit from the right is at position 3, thus a(25) = 3.
