Improve the description of square root problem #2415
Comments
Hello. Thanks for opening an issue on Exercism 🙂 At Exercism we use our Community Forum, not GitHub issues, as the primary place for discussion. That allows maintainers and contributors from across Exercism's ecosystem to discuss your problems/ideas/suggestions without them having to subscribe to hundreds of repositories. This issue will be automatically closed. Please use this link to copy your GitHub Issue into a new topic on the forum, where we look forward to chatting with you! If you're interested in learning more about this auto-responder, please read this blog post. |
Generally, the test suite is what students should consult for what's being requested. With that out of the way, do you have some proposed text for mentioning the perfect squares in the instructions? It doesn't have to be anything polished, but it'll give us a starting point and we can fine-tune it collaboratively. |
Please continue any proposals/discussions on the forum. |

. However, this important detail is not mentioned in the description. I think that letting the learners know that the argument will be perfect squares would improve the quality of the question and reduce the cognitive load.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
