I neglected to mention that we'd like you to always reply-all so a copy
goes to the list. All of us participate and learn.

The numbers that are outputted are not exactly correct as they should
be for Newtons Method:
OK - thanks - now please give us a few sample numbers, the results you
want and the results you get.
import math
def main():
x, loops = input("Please enter the value, and the number of times
to loop: ")
for i in range(loops):
new_loops = float(loops + (x / loops)) / 2
loops = new_loops
print "The guess is", loops, "which is", loops -
math.sqrt(x),"away from", math.sqrt(x)
main()
^Do you have any suggestions as to what I should do?
