You have a total of n coins that you want to form in a staircase shape, where every k-th row must have exactly k coins.
Given n, find the total number of full staircase rows that can be formed.
n is a non-negative integer and fits within the range of a 32-bit signed integer.
Example 1:
n = 5 The coins can form the following rows: ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ Because the 3rd row is incomplete, we return 2.
Example 2:
n = 8 The coins can form the following rows: ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ ¤ Because the 4th row is incomplete, we return 3.

return sqrt(2 * (long)n + 1 / 4.0) - 0.5;
