What do you think about adding two integer square root functions -- for the largest int `a` satisfying `a * a <= n` and for the smallest int `a` satisfying `a * a >= n`? The latter case is also often encounter in practice. For example, this is the size of the smallest square table in which we can place n items, not more than one per cell. We could call these functions fllorsqtr() and ceilsqrt() (if there are no better standard names). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue36887> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
