You're a square!

Instructions: You like building blocks. You especially like building blocks that are squares. And what you even like more, is to arrange them into a square of square building blocks! However, sometimes, you can't arrange them into a square. Instead, you end up with an ordinary rectangle! Those blasted things! If you just had a way to know, whether you're currently working in vain… Wait! That's it! You just have to check if your number of building blocks is a perfect square. Task: Given an integral number, determine if it's a square number: The tests will always use some integral number, so don't worry about that in dynamic typed languages. Thoughts: First I check if n is positive: if(n >= 0){} 2.Under the above condition I check if the square root of n is an integer and return true or false function of that. Solution: var isSquare = function(n){ if(n >= 0){ if(Number.isInteger(Math.sqrt(n))) return true; else return false; } else return false; } This is a CodeWars Challenge of 7kyu Rank (https://www.codewars.com/kata/54c27a33fb7da0db0100040e/train/javascript)

You're a square!

Instructions:
You like building blocks. You especially like building blocks that are squares. And what you even like more, is to arrange them into a square of square building blocks!
However, sometimes, you can't arrange them into a square. Instead, you end up with an ordinary rectangle! Those blasted things! If you just had a way to know, whether you're currently working in vain… Wait! That's it! You just have to check if your number of building blocks is a perfect square.

Task:
Given an integral number, determine if it's a square number:
The tests will always use some integral number, so don't worry about that in dynamic typed languages.

Thoughts:

  1. First I check if n is positive: if(n >= 0){} 2.Under the above condition I check if the square root of n is an integer and return true or false function of that.

Solution:
var isSquare = function(n){
if(n >= 0){
if(Number.isInteger(Math.sqrt(n))) return true;
else return false;
} else return false;
}
