-! We define the rounded-square-root of a positive integer n as the square root
-! of n rounded to the nearest integer.
+! We define the rounded-square-root of a positive integer n as
+! the square root of n rounded to the nearest integer.
-! The following procedure (essentially Heron's method adapted to integer
-! arithmetic) finds the rounded-square-root of n:
+! The following procedure (essentially Heron's method adapted to
+! integer arithmetic) finds the rounded-square-root of n:
! Let d be the number of digits of the number n.
! If d is odd, set x_(0) = 2×10^((d-1)⁄2).
! until x_(k+1) = x_(k).
-! As an example, let us find the rounded-square-root of n = 4321.
-! n has 4 digits, so x_(0) = 7×10^((4-2)⁄2) = 70.
+! As an example, let us find the rounded-square-root of n =
+! 4321. n has 4 digits, so x_(0) = 7×10^((4-2)⁄2) = 70.

! Since x_(2) = x_(1), we stop here.
-! So, after just two iterations, we have found that the rounded-square-root of
-! 4321 is 66 (the actual square root is 65.7343137…).

+! rounded-square-root of 4321 is 66 (the actual square root is
+! 65.7343137…).
-! The number of iterations required when using this method is surprisingly low.
-! For example, we can find the rounded-square-root of a 5-digit integer
-! (10,000 ≤ n ≤ 99,999) with an average of 3.2102888889 iterations (the average
-! value was rounded to 10 decimal places).
