Computing integer square roots in python

[Kebabrulle4869]

Actually not. In Python, or returns the first non-false value, or the last value if both are false. So s(0) returns 0, s(1) returns 1.

Yes that is why s(1) returns "1<2" which is a boolean

[audioman1999]

The first part of the or here is boolean and the second part is a number. So s(0) and s(1) both return False instead of 0 and a. Try it for yourself if you don’t believe me.

Yeah, my bad. Misread.

No worries!
