Hi all.

I'm looking to get the integer ceiling of a square root. RootInt gives
one the floor (ie RootInt(2) = RootInt(3) = 1, RootInt(5) = 2), while I
would want them to be respectively 2,2 and 3.

Thanks
Neilen

RootIntCeiling := function(n)
  if n = 0 then
    return 0;
  fi;
  return 1 + RootInt(n-1);
end;
