If the equation x^2+y^2 = n has two solutions (x, y), (y, x) then they will be counted differently.

No solutions can exist for the values of k >= n.

a(n) is the same as A216674(n) when n is not the sum of two positive squares.

But when n is the sum of two positive squares, the ordered pairs for the equation x^2+y^2 = n count.

For example,

10 = 3^2 + 1^2.

10 = 1^2 + 3^2.

10 = 2^2 + 6*1^2.

10 = 1^2 + 9*1^2.

So a(10) = 4. On the other hand, for the sequence A216674, the ordered pair 3^2+1^2 and 1^2+3^2 will be counted as the same, and so A216674(10) = 3.
