I went from the other direction: Look at only the squares in the range:
use strict; use warnings; use POSIX 'ceil'; my $digits = 6; my $fd = $digits/2; my ($lo, $hi) = ((9 x ($digits-1))+1, 9 x $digits); for my $sqrt (ceil(sqrt $lo) .. int(sqrt $hi)) { my $prod = $sqrt * $sqrt; next if substr($prod, $fd, 1) eq '0'; my ($f1, $f2) = (substr($prod, 0, $fd), substr($prod, $fd)); print "$f1 + $f2 = $sqrt, the root of $prod\n" if $f1 + $f2 == $sqrt +; }
