See A.5.1 Ada.Numerics.Elementary_Functions it has sqrt and ** with the
right argument of Float.

Actually, you don't need sqrt for this, and alternative could be do loop
until the loop index I is such that

   I <= sqrt(n)/2+1

which is equivalent to

   I := 2;
   while 4*(I-1)*(I-1) <= n loop
      ...
      I := I + 1;
   end loop;

The code you provided is illegal. In Ada you cannot mix types.
