Problem
Given a non-negative integer x
, return the square root of x
rounded down to the nearest integer. The returned integer should be non-negative as well.
You must not use any built-in exponent function or operator.
- For example, do not use
pow(x, 0.5)
in c++ orx ** 0.5
in python.
Example 1:
Input: x = 4 Output: 2 Explanation: The square root of 4 is 2, so we return 2.
Example 2:
Input: x = 8 Output: 2 Explanation: The square root of 8 is 2.82842..., and since we round it down to the nearest integer, 2 is returned.
Constraints:
0 <= x <= 231 - 1
