<p><strong>SQUARE_ROOT_APPROXIMATION</strong></p>
<hr>
<p><span style="background:#ffff00">The <a style="background:#ff9000;color:#000000" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%2B%2B" target="_blank" rel="noopener">C++</a> program featured in this tutorial web page computes the approximate square root of a real number using an iterative algorithm.</span></p>
<p>Note that, even though the program accepts negative real numbers as input values, the square root approximation function returns negative real number values for negative real number input values. Technically, if a negative real number is that function’s input, the value returned by that function should be a positive real number multiplied by the square root of negative one (and such a return value is an <a style="background:#000000;color:#ff9000" href="https://karlinaobject.wordpress.com/numbers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">imaginary number</a> instead of a real number).</p>
<p><em>To view hidden text inside each of the preformatted text boxes below, scroll horizontally.</em></p>
<pre>Y := square_root(X). // Y = X ^ (1/2).
(Y * Y) = X. // X = Y ^ 2.

<p><strong>PROGRAM_COMPILATION_AND_EXECUTION</strong></p>
<hr>
<p>STEP_0: Copy and paste the C++ <a style="background:#000000;color:#00ff00" href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/karlinarayberinger/KARLINA_OBJECT_summer_2023_starter_pack/main/square_root_approximation.cpp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">source code</a> into a new text editor document and save that document as the following file name:</p>
<pre>square_root_approximation.cpp</pre>
<p>STEP_1: Open a <a style="background:#ff9000;color:#000000" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Unix</a> command line terminal application and set the current directory to wherever the C++ program file is located on the local machine (e.g. Desktop).</p>
<pre>cd Desktop</pre>
<p>STEP_2: Compile the C++ file into machine-executable instructions (i.e. object file) and then into an executable piece of software named <strong>app</strong> using the following command:</p>
<pre>g++ square_root_approximation.cpp -o app</pre>
<p>STEP_3: If the program compilation command does not work, then use the following commands (in top-down order) to install the C/C++ compiler (which is part of the <a style="background: #ff9000;color: #000000" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Compiler_Collection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)</a>):</p>
<pre>sudo apt install build-essential</pre>
<pre>sudo apt-get install g++</pre>
<p>STEP_4: After running the <strong>g++</strong> command, run the executable file using the following command:</p>
<pre>./app</pre>
<p>STEP_5: Once the application is running, the following prompt will appear:</p>
<pre>Enter a real number (represented using only base-ten digits with an optional radix and with an optional negative sign), x, which is no larger than 100:</pre>
<p>STEP_6: Enter a value for x using the keyboard.</p>
<p>STEP_7: Statements showing program throughput and the value returned by the square root function which computes the approximate value of x raised to the power of 0.5 will be printed to the command line terminal and to the file output stream and then the following prompt will appear:</p>
<pre>Would you like to continue inputting program values? (Enter 1 if YES. Enter 0 if NO):</pre>
<p>STEP_8: Enter a value according to your preference until you decide to close the program (and save your program data to the <a style="background:#ff9000;color:#000000" href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/karlinarayberinger/KARLINA_OBJECT_summer_2023_starter_pack/main/square_root_approximation_output.txt" target="_blank" rel="noopener">output text file</a>).</p>
