(Math: approximate the square root) There are several techniques for implementing the sqrt method in the Math class. One such technique is known as the Babylonian method. It approximates the square root of a number, n, by repeatedly performing the calculation using the following formula:
nextGuess = (lastGuess + n / lastGuess) / 2
When nextGuess and 1astGuess are almost identical, nextGuess is the approximated square root. The initial guess can be any positive value (e.g., 1). This value will be the starting value for 1astGuess. If the difference between nextGuess and 1astGuess is less than a very small number, such as 0. 0001 , you can claim that next Guess is the approximated square root of n. If not, nextGuess becomes 1astGuess and the approximation process continues. Implement the following method that returns the square root of n:
public static double sqrt(long n)

- This is a discerete maths assignmentarrow_forward1) Simple Calculator: In Python, implement a simple calculator that does the following operations: summation, subtraction, multiplication, division, sqrt, power, natural log and abs. a) Follow the instructions below: To work with the calculator, the user is asked to enter the first number, then the operation, and finally, a second number if required. Your code has to recognize the need for the second number and ask for it if required. After performing one operation, the calculator prints the output of the operation. After performing one operation, the calculator must not exit. It has to start again for the next operation. The calculator will be closed if the user writes 'e' as any input. Use functions to perform the operations and the appropriate conditions to prevent common errors such as entering characters as one of the numbers etc. b) Run your code and provide the results for at least one example per operation. - -arrow_forwardHow to attempt? Question : The Card Game One day, Fred and his N friends were playing a card game in which each player throws a card with a number written on it. The cards are such that a number X is written on front of the card, and the negative of that number is written on the back side of the card. This game has the following rules: - Each of the N players is asked to throw a card. After all the N cards are thrown, Fred has to flip one or more cards in consecutive order, only once. Your task is to help Fred flip the cards in such a way that the sum of the numbers, on front face of the cards, is the maximum.arrow_forward
- Debugging: Find the error if there's any and rewritearrow_forward2) A BMI Calculator: the body mass index (BMI) is a measure used to determine whether a person is overweight or not. We can calculate BMI from the weight of the person (in pounds) and the height (in inches) of the person. The formula for calculating BMI is: BMI = (weightInPounds 703) divided by (heightInInches squared) In this problem, you will have to create a BMI calculator, i.e., a Java program, that reads the user's weight in pounds and height in inches, then calculates and displays the user's body mass index BMI. Also, display the following information from the US Department of Health) so the user can evaluate his/her BMI: BMI values: Underweight: less than 18.5 Normal: between 18.5 and 24.9 Overweight: between 25 and 29.9 Obese: 30 or greaterarrow_forwardFinancial Application:• Write a program that computes future investment value at a given interest rate for aspecified number of months and prints the report shown in the sample output. • Given the annual interest rate, the interest amount earned each month is computedusing the formula: Interest earned = investment amount * annual interest rate /1200 (=months * 100) • Write a method, computeFutureValue, which receives the investment amount, annualinterest rate and number of months as parameters and does the following: o Prints the interest amount earned each month and the new value of theinvestment (hint: use a loop). o Returns the total interest amount earned after the number of months specified bythe user. The main method will:o Ask the user for all input needed to call the computeFutureValue method.o Call computeFutureValueo Print the total interest amount earned by the investment at the end of thenumber of months entered by the user.

- Credit Card Number Check. The last digit of a credit card number is the check digit, which protects against transcription errors such as an error in a single digit or switching two digits. The following method is used to verify actual credit card numbers but, for simplicity, we will describe it for numbers with 8 digits instead of 16:• Starting from the rightmost digit, form the sum of every other digit. For example, if thecredit card number is 4358 9795, then you form the sum 5 + 7 + 8 + 3 = 23.• Double each of the digits that were not included in the preceding step. Add all digits ofthe resulting numbers. For example, with the number given above, doubling the digits,starting with the next-to-last one, yields 18 18 10 8. Adding all digits in these valuesyields 1 + 8 + 1 + 8 + 1 + 0 + 8 = 27.• Add the sums of the two preceding steps. If the last digit of the result is 0, the number isvalid. In our case, 23 + 27 = 50, so the number is valid.Write a program that implements this…arrow_forwardCredit Card Number Check.

- Area and Perimeter: Write a program that prints the area and perimeter of a circle with a radius of 5.5 using the formula:• Perimeter = 2 * radius * PI• Area = radius * radius * PI• Use Math.PI for PI in your programarrow_forwardLeap Year: The earth doesn't take exactly 365 days to revolve around the sun and because of this we have leap years roughly every 4 years to make up the difference. The exact rule is: • Years divisible by 4 are leap years • except if they are also divisible by 100 and then they are not leap years (so 1900 was not a leap year), • unless they are also divisible by 400 and then they ARE leap years (so 2000 was a leap year). Part 1) Write a function in Python that takes as input a number, the year, and determines if it is a leap year or not. The function should return True if it is a leap year and False otherwise. Part 2) Write a main function to test out your leap year function on a few different illustrative inputs.arrow_forwardPlease complete the following Java program using the math.random function.
