The description and test cases come from the upstream problem specifications repo. I agree that removing -lm
is a good track-specific reminder that a library function shouldn't be used.

I'm confused:
from the problem specification repository
The description on this track already matches the one in the problem-specifications repository
What is it that should change in this track?
If it is the problem specification that you think should change, then this issue needs to be raised there.

IIRC the intent of using uint16_t
was to restrict the output to natural numbers so as to make the algorithm more simple.
The reasoning being that these are programming exercises rather than math exercises. In most real cases a programmer would simply use the library function.
We wanted something that would exercise the student, but not something that presents too high a barrier of entry.
Removing the -lm
from the makefile is a good suggestion!

@wolf99 and @ryanplusplus thank you for your response. Since the intent is to keep algorithms more simple, and solutions like brute-force are also equally acceptable, how about adding minor improvements to the description from the problem specification repository? If we let the learners know that the arguments will always be perfect squares, and therefore, they should not have to worry about the answer being non-integer rational numbers, this would lower the cognitive load for most students, who will jump on using complex techniques.
