Chapter 2, Problem 9PP

(This is an extension of an exercise from Chapter 1.) The Babylonian algorithm to compute the square root of a positive number n is as follows: n / 2

  1. Make a guess at the answer (you can pick 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 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, iterates through the Babylonian algorithm until the guess is within 1 % of the previous guess, and outputs the answer as a double to two decimal places. Your answer should be accurate even for large values of n.
