Sherlock and Squares


Problem Statement :


Watson likes to challenge Sherlock's math ability. He will provide a starting and ending value that describe a range of integers, inclusive of the endpoints. Sherlock must determine the number of square integers within that range.

Note: A square integer is an integer which is the square of an integer, e.g. .1, 4, 9, 16, 25.

Example
a = 24
b = 49

There are three square integers in the range: 25, 36 and 49. Return 3.


Function Description

Complete the squares function in the editor below. It should return an integer representing the number of square integers in the inclusive range from a to b.

squares has the following parameter(s):

int a: the lower range boundary
int b: the upper range boundary

Returns
int: the number of square integers in the range


Input Format

The first line contains q, the number of test cases.
Each of the next q lines contains two space-separated integers, a and b, the starting and ending integers in the ranges.


Constraints
1 <= q <= 100
1 <= a <= b <= 10^9
