Problem
You have n
coins and you want to build a staircase with these coins. The staircase consists of k
rows where the ith
row has exactly i
coins. The last row of the staircase may be incomplete.
Given the integer n
, return the number of complete rows of the staircase you will build.
Example 1:
Input: n = 5 Output: 2 Explanation: Because the 3rd row is incomplete, we return 2.
Example 2:
Input: n = 8 Output: 3 Explanation: Because the 4th row is incomplete, we return 3.
Constraints:
1 <= n <= 231 - 1
