Examples
a(1)=0 because are no primes in half-open interval [1*sqrt((1-1)/2), (1+1)*sqrt(1/2)), a(2)=1 because prime 2 is in half-open interval [2*sqrt((2-1)/2), (2+1)*sqrt(2/2)), a(3)=1 because primes 3 is in half-open interval [3*sqrt((3-1)/2),(3+1)*sqrt(3/2)), a(4)=2 because primes 5,7 are in half-open interval [4*sqrt((4-1)/2), (4+1)*sqrt(4/2)).
