Newton's method for computing the square root of a number consists of approximating the actual square root

Question:

Newton's method for computing the square root of a number consists of approximating the actual square root by means of a set of transformations. Each transformation starts with a guess at the square root. A better approximation is then (guess + number / guess) / 2. This result becomes the guess for the next approximation. The initial guess is 1. Write a query-driven program that allows the user to enter a number and the number of approximations to compute its square root.
