Background<\/h2>\n

In this assignment you will write a function to calculate the square root of a number using the Babylonian method. You can search for that method, it will be easy to find.<\/p>\n

What to Do<\/h2>\n

The function should receive a number and return floating point number. Obviously you should test your function, so create a main program that asks the user a value, calculates the square root and displays that.<\/p>\n

What to Submit<\/h2>\n

As usual, create a blog post explaining what you did, where you found resources (books, videos, web pages, friends) to help you solve this. Remember to put the tag #WSQ10 on your post so our blog hub picks that up.<\/p>\n

You should include your code as a link to GitHub.<\/p>\n

And of course, leave any questions here as well as asking those questions in our Slack\u00a0channel so we all see your question posted there.<\/p>\n
