    Question Square Root formula

    Hello,
    In C++, we have a function sqrt(). However, my professor in our class told us to make our own square root function.
    Anyone who knows that, please help....
    Just the formula only.

    An apprentice carpenter may want only a hammer and saw, but a master craftsman employs many precision tools. Computer programming likewise requires sophisticated tools to cope with the complexity of real applications, and only practice with these tools will build skill in their use. Robert L. Kruse

    7. It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
    40. There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.*
