Function for square root without using sqrt() function

[thiruvasagamani]

Write a function for square root without using sqrt() function

Code Select Expand

#include <stdio.h>
#include <conio.h>

float sqroot( float x)
{
float a , b;
a = x; // copy given value to 'a'
do
{
b = a; // copy value of 'a' to 'b' before 'a' is modify
a = (a + x/a) / 2; // modify 'a' value until we reach sqroot result
}
while( a!= b); // execute loop until a == b
return( a); // 'a ' or 'b' is sqroot of 'x'
}

main()
{
float x;
float sqroot( float);
printf( enter any number \n");
scanf("%f", &x);
if( x > 0)
printf(" SQRT(%f) = %f\n", sqroot( x)); // display sqrt(49) = 7
else
if(x < 0)
printf(" SQRT(%f) = %fi \n", sqroot( -x)); // display sqrt( -49) = 7i
else
printf(" square root is 0 \n");
getch();
}

o/p:

If you enter 'x' values as 49 output is 7
If 'x' value is -25 output is 5i
If 'x' value is 256 output is 16

Thanks it is just easy and simple to be integrated with any language
