COMMENT
|
The number of squares (quadratic residues including 0) modulo a prime p (sequence A096008 with every "1" prefixed by a "0") equals 1+floor(p/2), or ceiling(p/2) = (p+1)/2 if p is odd. (In fields of characteristic 2, all elements are squares.) See A130290(n)=A130291(n)-1 for number of nozero residues. For all n>0, A130291(n+1) = A111333(n+1) = A006254(n) = A005097(n)-1 = A102781(n+1)-1 = A111332(n+1)-1 = A130290(n+1)-1.

FORMULA
|
a(n) = floor( A000040(n)/2 )+1
|
|
EXAMPLE
|
a(1)=2 since both elements of Z/2Z are squares.
a(3)=0 since 0=0^2, 1=1^2=(-1)^2 and 4=2^2=(-2)^2 are squares in Z/5Z.
a(1000000) = 7742932 = (p[1000000]+1)/2.
