Programming Assign. Unit 5
1. Does the submission include a my_sqrt function that takes a single argument and includes
the while loop from the instructions? yes
2. Does the my_sqrt function initialize x and return its final value? yes
3. Does the test_sqrt function print a values from 1 to 25? yes
4. Does the test_sqrt function print the values returned by my_sqrt for each value of a? yes
5. Does the test_sqrt function print correct values from math.sqrt for each value of a? yes
6. Does the test_sqrt function print the absolute value of the differences
between my_sqrt and math.sqrt for each value of a? yes
7. Does the my_sqrt function compute values that are almost identical to math.sqrt ("diff" less than
1e-14)? yes
Part 1:
import math
def my_sqrt(a): #method for the square root of a
x = 1
while True:
y = (x + a / x) / 2.0 #finding the value of y
if y == x:
return y
x = y #updating x to assign the current value of y
