    '''Quadratic primes
    
    Euler discovered the remarkable quadratic formula:

    n**2 + n + 41
    
    It turns out that the formula will produce 40 primes for the consecutive values n = 0 to 39.
    However, when n = 40, 402 + 40 + 41 = 40(40 + 1) + 41 is divisible by 41, and certainly when
    n = 41, 41n**2 + 41 + 41 is clearly divisible by 41.

    The incredible formula  n**2 - 79n + 1601 was discovered, which produces 80 primes for the
    consecutive values n = 0 to 79. The product of the coefficients, -79 and 1601, is -126479.

    Considering quadratics of the form:

    n**2 + an + b, where |a| < 1000 and |b| < 1000

    where |n| is the modulus/absolute value of n
    e.g. |11| = 11 and |-4| = 4
    Find the product of the coefficients, a and b, for the quadratic expression that produces
    the maximum number of primes for consecutive values of n, starting with n = 0.
