Finding the square root using Newton's method (errors!)

Question

I\'m working to finish a math problem that approximates the square root of a number using Newton\'s guess and check method in Python. The user is supposed to enter a number,

Answer 1

it shouldnt have to be that complicated i wrote this up

def squareroot(n,x):
final = (0.5*(x+(n/x)))
print (final)
for i in range(0,10):
    final = (0.5*(final+(n/final)))
    print (final)

or you could change it to be like this

n = float(input('What number would you like to squareroot?'))
x = float(input('Estimate your answer'))
final = (0.5*(x+(n/x)))
print (final)
for i in range(0,10):
    final = (0.5*(final+(n/final)))
    print (final)
