COMMENT

p = 1 if t(n) < 0, t(n+1) < 0; p = 2 if t(n) >= 0, t(n+1) < 0; p = 3 if t(n) < 0, t(n+1) >= 0; p = 4 if t(n) >= 0, t(n+1) >= 0.

q = 1 if |t(n)| <= t(n+1); q = 2 if |t(n)| > t(n+1.

EXAMPLE

A000594(1)=1, A000594(2)=-24. Hence the sign changes from + to - and the modulus increasing. Consulting the key, this gives a(1)=21.

PROGRAM
