Or repeat k (prime(k)^2 - prime(k-1)^2) times, with prime(0) set to 0 for k = 1.

This sequence is useful to compute A055399 for prime numbers.

Formula

Repeat 1 prime(1)^2 = 4 times; for k>1, repeat k (prime(k)^2-prime(k-1)^2) = A050216(k-1) times.

a(n) - A056811(n) = characteristic function of squares of primes.

Example

a(5) = a(6) = a(7) = a(8) = a(9) = 2 because prime(1) = 2 < sqrt(5 to 9) <= prime(2) = 3.
