Talking Re: Square Root

try this bit of code, it should give you a quick way to find square roots... but only for ints. It is accurate up to a certian point it should have enough accuracy for anything that needs to be done with our robots. If you need anything else let me know.

inline int sroot(int n)
{
int c = 0; int a = 1;
do {n -= a; a += 2; ++c;}
while (n > 0);
return c;
}
