here you go:
C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. #define GIT_R_DUN   3.00
  2. #include <stdio.h>
  3. #include <math.h>
  4. int main()
  5. {
  6.    double x = GIT_R_DUN;
  7.    printf("root of %f = %f\n",x,sqrt(x));
  8. }

if questioned, tell your professor that NO ONE in the "real world" writes this stuff from scratch, then ask him if he's ever had a "real job". If he still complains, send him here to talk to me.

Hi scapu,

Don't lose heart!

Pick out an algorithm, for example Newton's method seems to be rather comfortable to compute the square root of a given number. This method is also identical to the ancient method of the Babylonian to draw the square root of a given number, it s also called the divide-and-average algorithm. http://www.homeschoolmath.net/teachi...-algorithm.php discuss it. Try to design a c program. No matter whether it is complete, compiles with error, or produces imperfect results you should post your tentative steps. Then we will help you.

P.s. I don't agree with the concept of the latter post. The intention of computing the square root that way is not to do it plain "from scratch" but to learn fundamental concepts of numeric analysis, such as approximation, iteration, recurrence, numerical stability, and finally to get acquainted with famous Newton method.

krs,
tesu

cpp Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. float SquareRoot(float number)
  2.   {
  3.       long int inter_value = 0;
  4.       float  x_value = 0.0,
  5.               y_value = 0.0;
  6.       float  f_value = 1.5F;
  7.  
  8.       x_value = number * 0.5F;
  9.       y_value  = number;
  10.       inter_value  = * ( long int * ) &y_value;
  11.       inter_value  = 0x5f3759df - ( inter_value >> 1 );
  12.       y_value  = * ( float * ) &inter_value;
  13.       y_value  = y_value * ( f_value - ( x_value * y_value * y_value ) );
  14.       y_value  = y_value * ( f_value - ( x_value * y_value * y_value ) );
  15.       return number * y_value;
  16.   }

Just let me know if u face any problems

Regards,
