difference-of-squares: should methods return double instead of int?
See original GitHub issuewhen doing this exercise, I noticed that the test fixture expects that the return value of the
computeSquareOfSumTo, computeSumOfSquaresTo, and betweenSquareOfSumAndSumOfSquaresTo to be an int. Should these return a double instead?
For example, running Difference.computeSumOfSquaresTo(Interger.MAX_VALUE) will cause an overflow.
Would be happy to submit a patch as well as an additional test for this.
