Chapter 2, Problem 7P
The “divide and average” method, an old-time method for approximating the square root of any positive number a can be formulated as
(a) Write well-structured pseudocode to implement this algorithm as depicted in Fig. P2.7. Use proper indentation so that the structure is clear.
(b) Develop, debug, and document a program to implement this equation in either a high-level language or a macro language of your choice. Structure your code according to Fig. P2.7.
