This sounds remarkably like a homework problem, so I'm not going to
give you a full answer. Perhaps if you could be more specific about
which part's giving you trouble we could help you out with that.

If it finding square roots? is it checking for divisibility? is it
getting the loop to run through correctly? Is it some other problem?
