Valid Perfect Square
Given a positive integer num, return true if an integer exists whose square equals num; otherwise return false. Do not use a built-in square-root function.
Given a positive integer `num`, return `true` if an integer exists whose square equals `num`; otherwise return `false`. Do not use a built-in square-root function.
- `1 <= num <= 10^9`
Example 1: input num = 16; output true. 4 × 4 equals 16.
Example 2: input num = 14; output false. 3² is 9 and 4² is 16, so no integer square equals 14.
