I'm at my wits end trying to show that this Exc(n), or "excess over square" function is recursive. I know that it means that the value n is greater than the next lowest perfect square. So, for example
EXC(9)= 0
EXC(19)= 3
EXC(42)= 6
I can't seem any to find any information on even where to begin. If anyone has any idea how to do this problem I would really appreciate any help. Thanks much
