Given a non-negative number n, output the number of ways to express n as the sum of two squares of integers n == a^2 + b^2 (OEIS A004018). Note that a and b can be positive, negative, or zero, and their order matters. Fewest bytes wins.
For example, n=25 gives 12 because 25 can be expressed as
(5)^2 + (0)^2
(4)^2 + (3)^2
(3)^2 + (4)^2
(0)^2 + (5)^2
(-3)^2 + (4)^2
(-4)^2 + (3)^2
(-5)^2 + (0)^2
(-4)^2 + (-3)^2
(-3)^2 + (-4)^2
(0)^2 + (-5)^2
(3)^2 + (-4)^2
(4)^2 + (-3)^2
Here are the values up to n=25. Be careful that your code works for n=0.

Fun facts: The sequence contains terms that are arbitrarily high, and the limit of its running average is π.

4Wait, what?? "The sequence contains terms that are arbitrarily high, and the limit of its running average is π." – Stewie Griffin – 2015-11-26T11:58:04.680
@StewieGriffin The two statements are consistent. Consider the sequence
1,0,2,0,0,3,0,0,0,4,0,0,0,0,5,.... Cutting the sequence off after any nonzero number, the average so far is 1. And, the runs of 0's have less and less impact later in the sequence. – xnor – 2015-11-26T12:04:42.8905I know it's consistent.. =) I had checked the 10.000 first numbers when I posted the comment. What I don't get is: Why on earth does it equal Pi? – Stewie Griffin – 2015-11-26T12:19:25.630
30@StewieGriffin The sum of the terms up to N corresponds to the points (a,b) with a^2+b^2<=N. These are the lattice points in the circle of radius sqrt(N), whose area is πN. – xnor – 2015-11-26T12:23:05.637

@xnor damn, nice connection there. – Lucas – 2015-11-29T21:41:39.450
