The revised program is given below
Checking user input is done with an if-else structure:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class SquareRoot
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
final double smallValue = 1.0E-14 ;
double N ; // the user enters N
double guess = 1.00 ; // the same first guess works for any N
// get the number from the user
Scanner scan = new Scanner( System.in );
System.out.print("Enter the number: ");
N = scan.nextDouble();
if ( N >= 0.0 )
{
while ( Math.abs( N/(guess*guess) - 1.0 ) > smallValue )
{
guess = N/(2*guess) + guess/2 ; // calculate a new guess
}
System.out.println("The square root of " + N + " is " + guess ) ;
}
else
{
System.out.println("Please enter a positive number");
}
}
}
Will the program work if the user enters a zero?
