...aren't implementing the quadratic residue algorithm. I fixed a couple (perhaps clumsily) and marked Seed7 as bad (it uses the built-in sqrt() function). <strike>Raku is also wrong, as it links to another sqrt task which doesn't utilize the qr algo.</strike>
Just a reminder, the task is not to compute square roots in any way, it is to implement the quadratic residue method of computing the square root. --[[User:Enter your username|Enter your username]] ([[User talk:Enter your username|talk]]) 09:33, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

: Yes, I couldn't agree more! I (the Rosetta Code task's author) was thinking about flagging it as incorrect for a multitude of reasons (but I have not for various reasons that be not mentioned):

L I was hoping someone (maybe some other Rosetta Code administrator) would eventually notice and provide a remedy and possibly take some action.

:Update: added qr algo to Raku entry. --[[User:Enter your username|Enter your username]] ([[User talk:Enter your username|talk]]) 22:28, 9 December 2020 (UTC)

== Page title ==
The page title causes email notifications (in yahoo anyway) to have invalid links, namely "https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Isqrt_" rather than "https://rosettacode.org/wiki/Isqrt_(integer_square_root)_of_X". Page titles should therefore probably should not contain (), and I doubt "of X" adds anything, so how about "Integer square root aka isqrt", or maybe better "Integer square root using quadratic residue method"?<br>
Of course there is no urgency, could easily move it myself, etc. --[[User:Petelomax|Petelomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 21:12, 15 December 2022 (UTC)
