Purpose
-------
Given an arbitrarily large non-negative integer ``n``, the `integer square root `__ function finds the largest integer ``r`` such that ``r**2 <= n`` and ``(r + 1)**2 > n``.

.. |math_isqrt| replace:: ``math.isqrt``
.. _math_isqrt: https://docs.python.org/3/library/math.html#math.isqrt

.. |math_sqrt| replace:: ``math.sqrt``
.. _math_sqrt: https://docs.python.org/3/library/math.html#math.sqrt

**The built-in** |math_isqrt|_ **function was introduced in Python 3.8 and should normally be used instead of the function defined in this library.** To provide the best performance possible while retaining backwards-compatible behavior for this library, the implementation in this library invokes |math_isqrt|_ when it is available. If |math_isqrt|_ is not available, this library attempts to use |math_sqrt|_ and then (if |math_sqrt|_ does not produce the correct result or the input is outside the range supported by |math_sqrt|_) defaults to a pure-Python implementation in which the number of executed Python arithmetic operations is linear in the bit length of the input integer.

Installation and Usage
----------------------
This library is available as a `package on PyPI `__:

.. code-block:: bash

python -m pip install isqrt

The library can be imported in the usual way:

.. code-block:: python

from isqrt import isqrt

Examples
^^^^^^^^
The exported function ``isqrt`` provides a pure-Python implementation of the `integer square root `__ algorithm:

.. code-block:: python

>>> isqrt(4)
2
>>> isqrt(16)
4
>>> list(map(isqrt, range(16, 26)))
[4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5]
>>> isqrt(2**30000) == 2**15000
True

Development
-----------
All installation and development dependencies are fully specified in ``pyproject.toml``. The ``project.optional-dependencies`` object is used to `specify optional requirements `__ for various development tasks. This makes it possible to specify additional options (such as ``test``, ``lint``, and so on) when performing installation using `pip `__:

.. code-block:: bash

python -m pip install .[test,lint]

Testing and Conventions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
All unit tests are executed and their coverage is measured when using `pytest `__ (see the ``pyproject.toml`` file for configuration details):

.. code-block:: bash

python -m pip install .[test]
python -m pytest

Alternatively, all unit tests are included in the module itself and can be executed using `doctest `__:

.. code-block:: bash

python src/isqrt/isqrt.py -v

Style conventions are enforced using `Pylint `__:

.. code-block:: bash

python -m pip install .[lint]
python -m pylint src/isqrt

Acknowledgments
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The initial version of this function was `posted `__ on Stack Overflow. A `more efficient version `__ was implemented by Alexander Gosselin. The implementation in this package is adapted directly from these previous implementations.

Contributions
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In order to contribute to the source code, open an issue or submit a pull request on the `GitHub page `__ for this library.

Versioning
^^^^^^^^^^
Beginning with version 0.10.0, the version number format for this library and the changes to the library associated with version number increments conform with `Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 `__.

Publishing
^^^^^^^^^^
This library can be published as a `package on PyPI `__ by a package maintainer. First, install the dependencies required for packaging and publishing:

.. code-block:: bash

python -m pip install .[publish]

Ensure that the correct version number appears in the ``pyproject.toml`` file. Create and push a tag for this version (replacing ``?.?.?`` with the version number):

.. code-block:: bash

git tag ?.?.?
git push origin ?.?.?

Remove any old build/distribution files. Then, package the source into a distribution archive:

.. code-block:: bash

rm -rf build dist src/*.egg-info
python -m build --sdist --wheel .

Finally, upload the package distribution archive to `PyPI `__:

.. code-block:: bash

python -m twine upload dist/*
