This is about the Babylonian method of calculating a square root of some number, sorry i did get the code from another source but anyway:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

First, ask for the value “n” and declare a function.<\/p>\n

Use the parameter x and eps which is a really small number.<\/p>\n

“R” is the same value as “x”, a copy.<\/p>\n

While the absolute value of “x – r * r” is greater than eps, it will loop doing a multiplication of 0.5 and some weird adition of r and x \/ r.<\/p>\n

And obviously return r.<\/p>\n
