Problem S1: Cool Numbers

Eric likes interesting numbers like 64. It turns out that 64 is both a square and a cube, since 64 = 82 and 64 = 43. Eric calls these numbers cool. Write a program that helps Eric figure out how many integers in a given range are cool.

Input

On the first line of input, you are given an integer a such that a ≥ 1 and a ≤ 108. On the second line of input, you are given an integer b such that b ≥ a and b ≤ 108.

Output

The output should be the number of cool numbers in the range a to b (inclusively: that is, a and b would count as cool numbers in the range if they were actually cool).

Why are there 2 test cases that TLE when my variable types are large enough??

There aren't any issues with your variables. The issue that your having is your code is too slow. This problem actually requires a little bit of insight in order to solve it within the time restrictions. Here's hint, law of exponents.

Is that what you meant by law of exponents, even a little bit?

same here

basically, if a integer is a square of a number and a cube of a number, its a number to the power of six
