Sqrt(x)
Understand how to implement a modified binary search algorithm to compute the square root of a non-negative integer rounded down. This lesson helps you develop problem-solving skills for coding interviews by tackling constraints that prohibit using built-in exponentiation functions.

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.
