Sqrt(x)

Explore how to implement an efficient algorithm to compute the square root of a non-negative integer rounded down to the nearest integer using modified binary search. Understand the problem constraints and apply the pattern without relying on built-in exponent functions, improving your problem-solving skills for coding interviews.

Statement

Given a non-negative integer x, compute and return the square root of x rounded down to the nearest integer. The result must also be non-negative.

Built-in exponent functions or operators (e.g., pow(x, 0.5) in C++ or x ** 0.5 in Python) are not permitted.

Constraints:

  • ...
