Use the Java Math square root method to calculate square roots from 1 to 1,000. Then output the whole numbers only

Question

Use the Java Math square root method to calculate square roots from 1 to 1,000. The output the whole numbers only.Do not start by calculating squares and then printing out that number's square root. Calculate all square roots and determine if they are whole numbers.

I looked up several answers that seemed to dance around the solution but none of them so very concise. Here is what I have so far.

public class Assignment9
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        double root = 1;
        double sqrt = Math.sqrt(root);

        do
        {
            if(sqrt % 1 == 0)
            {
                System.out.printf("%.0f\t%.0f%n", root, Math.sqrt(root));
                root++;
            }
        }
        while(root <= 1000);
    }
}

The output is printing the square roots but keeps rounding up each number. I want to only print out one number per perfect square, (e.g. 1 1, 4 2, 9 3, etc). I understand the question, but every time I run the program I get this as my output:

     1 1
     2 1
     3 2
     4 2
     5 2
     6 2
     7 3
     8 3
     9 3
     10 3
     ...
     1000 32

Answer 1

You aren't updating the value sqrt. It's always just 1, and thus sqrt % 1 is always 0.
