Create a program that will calculate n digits of the square root of a number.
The program should continue forever (or until the number of digits is specified) calculating and outputting each decimal digit in succession. The program should be a "spigot algorithm" generating the digits of the number sequentially from left to right providing increasing precision as the algorithm proceeds.
Visual Basic .NET
This is "spigot like", but not a true spigot, just an implementation of the "by hand" method of computing the square root, in this case, of two.<lang vbnet>Imports System.Math Imports System.Console Imports BI = System.Numerics.BigInteger
Module Module1
Sub Main(ByVal args As String())
Dim i, j, k, d As BI : i = 2
j = CType(Floor(Sqrt(CDbl(i))), BI) : k = j : d = j
Do
Write(d)
i = (i - k * d) * 100 : k = 20 * j
For d = 1 To 10
If (k + d) * d > i Then d -= 1 : Exit For
Next
j = j * 10 + d : k += d
Loop While True
End Sub
End Module</lang>
- Output:
showing only the first few digits
