The divide and average? method, an old-time method for approximating the square root of any positive number

Question:

The divide and average? method, an old-time method for approximating the square root of any positive number ? can be formulated as x = x + a/x / 2.

(a) Write well-structured pseudosode to implement this algorithm as depicted in Figure. ?Use proper indentation so that the structure is clear.

(b) Develop, debug, and document a program to implement this equation in either a high-level language or a macro language of your choice. Structure your code according to Figure.
