+# Instructions
+
+Your task is to calculate the square root of a given number.
+
+- Try to avoid using the pre-existing math libraries of your language.
+- As input you'll be given a positive whole number, i.e. 1, 2, 3, 4…
+- You are only required to handle cases where the result is a positive whole number.
+
+Some potential approaches:
+
+- Linear or binary search for a number that gives the input number when squared.
+- Successive approximation using Newton's or Heron's method.
+- Calculating one digit at a time or one bit at a time.
+
+You can check out the Wikipedia pages on [integer square root][integer-square-root] and [methods of computing square roots][computing-square-roots] to help with choosing a method of calculation.

+# Introduction
+
+We are launching a deep space exploration rocket and we need a way to make sure the navigation system stays on target.
+
+As the first step in our calculation, we take a target number and find its square root (that is, the number that when multiplied by itself equals the target number).
+
+The journey will be very long.
+To make the batteries last as long as possible, we had to make our rocket's onboard computer very power efficient.
+Unfortunately that means that we can't rely on fancy math libraries and functions, as they use more power.
+Instead we want to implement our own square root calculation.
