Z Programs
Z.square.root
Argument: A
Returns: SQR(A)
iterative program to find square root
It averages out the divisor and the result until they're within
.0001
Thus, it cannot do square roots on #'s < .0001*.0001=.0000001
There's an extra check that # of iterations won't exceed 15,
though # of iterations is usually under 6.
