text: Babylonian method for square root | Returns the square root of n . Note that the function ; We are using n itself as initial approximation This can definitely be improved ; e decides the accuracy level ; Driver program to test above function
code: function squareRoot ( n ) { let x = n ; let y = 1 ; let e = 0.000001 ; while ( x - y > e ) { x = ( x + y ) / 2 ; y = n / x ; } return x ; } let n = 50 ; document . write ( " " + n + " " + squareRoot ( n ) . toFixed ( 6 ) ) ;
