The Nearest Square Number
You have some number and you are trying to find the nearest square number (a perfect square). Square number is the number the square root of which is an integer. For example, if we start with the number 8, then the two nearby square numbers are 4 (sqrt(4) == 2) and 9 (sqrt(9) == 3). So the answer is 9, because 9 is the nearest.
Input: An integer (int).
Output: An integer (int).
Examples:
assert nearest_square(8) == 9 assert nearest_square(13) == 16
How it is used: For mathematical analysis.
Precondition:
0 < number <= 1000000
CheckiO Extensions allow you to use local files to solve missions. More info in a blog post.
In order to install CheckiO client you'll need installed Python (version at least 3.8)
