COMMENTS
Straddle primes that occur only once on either side of the composite number are lower and upper twin primes respectively.
FORMULA
Straddle primes are the nearest primes preceding and following a composite number n.
EXAMPLE
The first straddle prime pair is 3 and 5 which straddle the composite number 4.
PROG
(PARI) strad(n) = { my(y, pp, np); for(x=1, n, y=composite(x); pp=precprime(y); np=nextprime(y); print1(pp", ") ) }
