Estimating Square Roots | Overview & Examples

(Math: approximate the square root) There are several techniques for implementing the sqrt method in the Math class. One such technique is known as the Babylonian method. It approximates the square root of a number, n, by repeatedly performing a calculation using the following formula: nextGuess = (lastGuess n / lastGuess) / 2 When nextGuess and lastGuess are almost identical, nextGuess is the approximated square root. The initial guess can be any positive value (e.g., 1). This value will be t
