Integer Square Root

p
"""
Integer Square Root Algorithm -- An efficient method to calculate the square root of a
non-negative integer 'num' rounded down to the nearest integer. It uses a binary search
approach to find the integer square root without using any built-in exponent functions
or operators.
* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integer_square_root
* https://docs.python.org/3/library/math.html#math.isqrt
Note:
    - This algorithm is designed for non-negative integers only.
    - The result is rounded down to the nearest integer.
    - The algorithm has a time complexity of O(log(x)).
    - Original algorithm idea based on binary search.
