I need a simple function
is_square :: Int -> Bool
which determines if an Int N a perfect square (is there an integer x such that x*x = N).
Of course I can just write something like
is_square n = sq * sq == n
where sq = floor $ sqrt $ (fromIntegral n::Double)
but it looks terrible! Maybe there is a common simple way to implement such predicate?
