EXAMPLE

a(1) = 0 because 1*(1+1)-(2*0+1)=1 and 1*(1+1)+(2*0+1)=3 are both noncomposite numbers,

a(2) = 0 because 2*(2+1)-(2*0+1)=5 and 2*(2+1)+(2*0+1)=7 are both noncomposite numbers,

a(3) = 0 because 3*(3+1)-(2*0+1)=11 and 3*(3+1)+(2*0+1)=13 are both noncomposite numbers,

a(4) = 1 because 4*(4+1)-(2*1+1)=17 and 4*(4+1)+(2*1+1)=23 are both noncomposite numbers.
