Examples
a(1) = 2, this being a length 1 (1 is initial index) run of primes. a(2) = 4 & a(3) = 6, 4 and 6 being a length 2 (2 is first prime) run of composites. a(4) = 3, a(5) = 5, a(6) = 7, and a(7) = 11 being a length 4 (4 is first composite) run of primes. a(8) = 8, a(9) = 9, and a(10) = 10, being a length 3 (3 is 2nd prime) run of composites.
