Chapter 3, Problem 1PP

(This is a version of Programming Project 2.1 from Chapter 2.) The Babylonian algorithm to compute the square root of a positive number n is as follows:

1. Make a guess at the answer (you can pick n/2 as your initial guess).

2. Compute =  n / guess .

3. Set guess = guess + r / 2.

4. Go back to step 2 until the last two guess values are within 1% of each other.

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.

Task 15 Write a Python program that takes a number and tells if it is a perfect number or not. [The input number has to be an INTEGER] Perfect Number: An integer number is said to be a perfect number if its factors, including 1 but not the number itself, sum to the number. Example01: Input: 6 Output: 6 is a perfect number Explanation: 6 have 4 divisors: 1, 2, 3, and 6. If we add all factors except itself, 6 = 1 + 2 + 3.
