Java - Find SQRT by Guess - Approximation method
You can solve the problem in two ways with out using the built in function System.Math.Sqrt.
Method 1 - Like binary search, have a minimum and maximum possible values. Do the square operation and compare the result. Then adjust minimum or maximum until we find the correct sqrt of the given number. NOTE: This is NOT a perfect square root and it has got accuracy of 4 decimal points. Method 1 is explained on this page.
Method 2 - The traditional way of doing with out calculator or any assumption is using the algorithm. It will be perfect square root up to N number of decimal points meaning the limitation of float and double. Click here to go to algorithmic source code for finding square root.
