A shorter version would be to consider the values of x \left \lfloor \sqrt{x} \right \rfloor for x [ 1 , 5 ] x\in [1,5] between square points (where x x assumes a perfect square value). By definition, we have,

x = { 0 x [ 0 , 1 ) 1 x [ 1 , 4 ) 2 x [ 4 , 5 ] \left \lfloor \sqrt{x} \right \rfloor= \begin{cases} 0 \quad \forall x\in [0,1) \\ 1 \quad \forall x\in [1,4) \\ 2 \quad \forall x\in [4,5] \end{cases}

This is the same as your method but is a little bit quicker.
