Square Root Distance from Integers












4












$begingroup$


Given a decimal number k, find the smallest integer n such that the square root of n is within k of an integer. However, the distance should be nonzero - n cannot be a perfect square.



Given k, a decimal number or a fraction (whichever is easier for you), such that 0 < k < 1, output the smallest positive integer n such that the difference between the square root of n and the closest integer to the square root of n is less than or equal to k but nonzero.



If i is the closest integer to the square root of n, you are looking for the first n where 0 < |i - sqrt(n)| <= k.



Rules




  • You cannot use a language's insufficient implementation of non-integer numbers to trivialize the problem.

  • Otherwise, you can assume that k will not cause problems with, for example, floating point rounding.

Comma separated test case inputs:

This is code-golf, so shortest answer in bytes wins.

              Explanation



              The result must be of the form $n^2 pm 1$ for some $n in mathbb{N}$. Solving the inequations $sqrt{n^2+1} - n < k$ and $n - sqrt{n^2+1} < k$, we get $n > frac{1-k^2}{2k}$ and $n > frac{1+k^2}{2k}$ respectively. So the result is $operatorname{min}left({leftlceil frac{1-k^2}{2k} rightrceil}^2+1, {leftlceil frac{1+k^2}{2k} rightrceil}^2-1right)$.

                                Explanation



                                The result must be of the form $n^2 pm 1$ for some $n in mathbb{N}$. Solving the inequations $sqrt{n^2+1} - n < k$ and $n - sqrt{n^2+1} < k$, we get $n > frac{1-k^2}{2k}$ and $n > frac{1+k^2}{2k}$ respectively. So the result is $operatorname{min}left({leftlceil frac{1-k^2}{2k} rightrceil}^2+1, {leftlceil frac{1+k^2}{2k} rightrceil}^2-1right)$.

                                        If this is an answer to a challenge…




                                        • …Be sure to follow the challenge specification. However, please refrain from exploiting obvious loopholes. Answers abusing any of the standard loopholes are considered invalid. If you think a specification is unclear or underspecified, comment on the question instead.


                                        • …Try to optimize your score. For instance, answers to code-golf challenges should attempt to be as short as possible. You can always include a readable version of the code in addition to the competitive one.
                                          Explanations of your answer make it more interesting to read and are very much encouraged.


                                        • …Include a short header which indicates the language(s) of your code and its score, as defined by the challenge.



                                        More generally…




                                        • …Please make sure to answer the question and provide sufficient detail.


                                        • …Avoid asking for help, clarification or responding to other answers (use comments instead).
