Answers for "stl function to find square root"

how to make a square root function in c++ without stl

double sqrt(double number)
{
    double error = 0.00001; //define the precision of your result
    double s = number;

    while ((s - number / s) > error) //loop until precision satisfied 
    {
        s = (s + number / s) / 2;
    }
    return s;
}

how to make a square root function in c++ without stl

double SqrtNumber(double num)
{
    double lower_bound=0; 
    double upper_bound=num;
    double temp=0;

    while(fabs(num - (temp * temp)) > SOME_SMALL_VALUE)
    {
           temp = (lower_bound+upper_bound)/2;
           if (temp*temp >= num)
