Textbook Question

Chapter 2, Problem 2P

The Babylonian algorithm to compute the square root of a number n is as follows:

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.

Write a program that inputs a double for n and iterates through the Babylonian algorithm 100 times. For a more challenging version, iterate until guess is within 1% of the previous guess, and outputs the answer as a double.

Dijkstra's Algorithm (part 1). Consider the network shown below, and Dijkstra’s link-state algorithm. Here, we are interested in computing the least cost path from node E (note: the start node here is E) to all other nodes using Dijkstra's algorithm. Using the algorithm statement used in the textbook and its visual representation, complete the "Step 0" row in the table below showing the link state algorithm’s execution by matching the table entries (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) with their values. Write down your final [correct] answer, as you‘ll need it for the next question.
