1. Make a guess at the answer (you can pick n/2 as your initial guess).
2. Compute r = n /guess
3. Set guess = (guess + r) / 2
4. Go back to step 2 for as many iterations as necessary. The more that steps 2 and 3 are repeated, the closer guess will become to the square root of n.

You can approximate e using the following summation:
Write a program that displays the e value for i = 10000, 20000, …, and 100000.
use python
Make a program that asks for a width, and then prints a pyramid of that width. The pyramid must be of odd width, and if the user enters an even number the program should print "Please enter an odd number" and ask again. (It is ok if the program gives an error if the user enters a non-number).
Example:
Please enter the pyramid width 10Please enter an odd numberPlease enter the pyramid width 14Please enter an odd numberPlease enter the pyramid width 13 * *** ***** ******* ********* ************************
The first line should have 1 asterisk, the second 3, then 5, 7, 9 etc. The number of spaces before starting the asterisks is
(n−i)/2
Where n is the width of the pyramid and i is the number of asterixes in the current line. Note that this is always a whole number, as n and i are odd and hence (n-i) is even.

At the end of the semester she drops each student's lowest test score before averaging the scores. She has asked you to design a program that will read a student's test scores as input and calculate the average with the lowest score dropped. Here is the algorithm that you developed: Get the student's test scores. Calculate the total of the scores. Find the lowest score. Subtract the lowest score from the total. This gives the adjusted total. Divide the adjusted total by 1 less than the number of test scores. This is the adjusted average. Display the average. The test scores are in a text file named scores.txt and contains the following: Mickey, 71.0, 42.0, 83.0 Donald, 94.0, 73.0, 72.0, 81.0 Minnie, 95.0, 85.0, 45.0, 55.0, 65.0 A sample run is as follows: Enter a file containing floating point numbers: scores.txt Test scores for Mickey: ['71.0', '42.0', '83.0'] Removed the lowest score of 42.0 for Mickey The…arrow_forwardTask 9 Write Python code of a program that reads an integer, and prints the integer if it is a multiple of NEITHER 2 NOR 5.

Once the formula is properly encoded you can use the code as much as you want without reprogramming it and you can share it with non-programmers without any trouble. This lab is an example of such a formula. Once you program it you won’t have to worry about the area of a circle again. Write and test a program that computes the area of a circle. This program should request a number representing a radius as input from the user. Use the formula 3.14 × radius2 to compute the area. Tip: There are a couple of ways to code an exponent. Look in the Operators unit for help (and you can’t use an x for multiplication). Tip: You will need to use the float data type to compute the remainder. The output should explain the results. Don’t just print a number. Tip: For your print statement you will need to use the comma, “,”, or plus, “+” symbols to stitch your output together. (“The…arrow_forward

It initially faces right.At each step, it does the following:(1) At a white square, flip the color of the square, turn 90 degrees right (clockwise), and move forwardone unit.(2) At a black square, flip the color of the square, turn 90 degrees left (counter-clockwise), and moveforward one unit.Write a program to simulate the first K moves that the ant makes and print the final board as a grid.Note that you are not provided with the data structure to represent the grid. This is something youmust design yourself. The only input to your method is K. You should print the final grid and returnnothing. The method signature might be something like void printKMoves ( int K)arrow_forwardWrite a program that counts the number of integers from 1 to M that are divisible by N. Use the sample run as guide. Note, that the program repeats until an invalid input is encountered. Sample run: Program to count the number of integers from 1 to M that are divisible by N. Enter M (>1): 3 Enter N (>1): 4 There are no integers from 1 to 3 that are divisible by 4. Enter M (>1): 4 Enter N (>1): 2 There are 2 integers from 1 to 4 that are divisible by 2.
