Question

我正在努力完成一个数学问题，该问题使用Newton在Python中的猜测和检查方法来近似数字的平方根。用户应该输入一个数字，该数字的初始猜测，以及他们想要在返回之前检查他们的答案的次数。为了让事情变得更容易并且了解Python（几个月前我才开始学习这门语言）我把它分解成了许多小函数;但现在的问题是，我无法调用每个函数并传递数字。

这是我的代码，有帮助的评论（每个函数按使用顺序）：

# This program approximates the square root of a number (entered by the user)
# using Newton's method (guess-and-check). I started with one long function,
# but after research, have attempted to apply smaller functions on top of each
# other.
# * NEED TO: call functions properly; implement a counting loop so the
# goodGuess function can only be accessed the certain # of times the user
# specifies. Even if the - .001 range isn't reached, it should return.

# sqrtNewt is basically the main, which initiates user input.

def sqrtNewt():
    # c equals a running count initiated at the beginning of the program, to
    # use variable count.
    print("This will approximate the square root of a number, using a guess-and-check process.")
    x = eval(input("Please type in a positive number to find the square root of: "))
    guess = eval(input("Please type in a guess for the square root of the number you entered: "))
    count = eval(input("Please enter how many times would you like this program to improve your initial guess: ")) 
    avg = average(guess, x)
    g, avg = improveG(guess, x)
    final = goodGuess(avg, x)
    guess = square_root(guess, x, count)
    compare(guess, x)


# Average function is called; is the first step that gives an initial average,
# which implements through smaller layers of simple functions stacked on each
# other.
def average(guess, x) :
    return ((guess + x) / 2)

# An improvement function which builds upon the original average function.
def improveG(guess, x) :
    return average(guess, x/guess)

# A function which determines if the difference between guess X guess minus the
# original number results in an absolute vale less than 0.001. Not taking
# absolute values (like if guess times guess was greater than x) might result
# in errors
from math import *
def goodGuess(avg, x) :
    num = abs(avg * avg - x)
    return (num < 0.001)

# A function that, if not satisfied, continues to "tap" other functions for
# better guess outputs. i.e. as long as the guess is not good enough, keep
# improving the guess.
def square_root(guess, x, count) :
    while(not goodGuess(avg, x)):
        c = 0
        c = c + 1
        if (c < count):
            guess = improveG(guess, x)
        elif (c == count):
            return guess
        else :
            pass

# Function is used to check the difference between guess and the sqrt method
# applied to the user input.
import math
def compare(guess, x):
    diff = math.sqrt(x) - guess
    print("The following is the difference between the approximation") 
    print("and the Math.sqrt method, not rounded:", diff)

sqrtNewt()

目前，我收到此错误：g, avg = improveG(guess, x) TypeError: 'float' object is not iterable. 最后一个函数使用猜测的最终迭代从数学平方根方法中减去，并返回整体差异。我甚至这样做了吗？如果您能提供建议，我们将非常感谢工作代码。再说一遍，我是新手，所以我为误解或盲目的明显错误道歉。

牛顿法的实施：

在需要时添加一些调整应该相当容易。试着，告诉我们什么时候卡住。

from math import *
def average(a, b):
    return (a + b) / 2.0
def improve(guess, x):
    return average(guess, x/guess)
def good_enough(guess, x):
    d = abs(guess*guess - x)
    return (d < 0.001)
def square_root(guess, x):
    while(not good_enough(guess, x)):
        guess = improve(guess, x)
    return guess
def my_sqrt(x):
    r = square_root(1, x)
    return r

>>> my_sqrt(16)
4.0000006366929393

注意：你会在SO或google搜索中找到足够的关于如何使用原始输入的例子。但是，如果你在计算循环，c=0必须在循环之外，否则你将陷入困境无限循环。

Quiqk和肮脏，有很多改进方法：

from math import *
def average(a, b):
    return (a + b) / 2.0
def improve(guess, x):
    return average(guess, x/guess)
def square_root(guess, x, c):
    guesscount=0
    while guesscount < c :
        guesscount+=1
        guess = improve(guess, x)
    return guess
def my_sqrt(x,c):
    r = square_root(1, x, c)
    return r

number=int(raw_input('Enter a positive number'))
i_guess=int(raw_input('Enter an initial guess'))
times=int(raw_input('How many times would you like this program to improve your initial guess:'))    
answer=my_sqrt(number,times)

print 'sqrt is approximately ' + str(answer)
print 'difference between your guess and sqrt is ' + str(abs(i_guess-answer))

Answer 2

选择的答案有点令人费解......不要对OP不尊重。

对于将来使用谷歌搜索的人来说，这是我的解决方案：

def check(x, guess):
    return (abs(guess*guess - x) < 0.001)

def newton(x, guess):
    while not check(x, guess):
        guess = (guess + (x/guess)) / 2.0
    return guess

print newton(16, 1)

Answer 3

这是计算平方根的一个相当不同的函数;假设 n 是非负的：

def mySqrt(n):
    if (n == 0):
        return 0
    if (n < 1):
        return mySqrt(n * 4) / 2
    if (4 <= n):
        return mySqrt(n / 4) * 2
    x = (n + 1.0) / 2.0
    x = (x + n/x) / 2.0
    x = (x + n/x) / 2.0
    x = (x + n/x) / 2.0
    x = (x + n/x) / 2.0
    x = (x + n/x) / 2.0
    return x

此算法与牛顿类似，但不完全相同。它是由一位名叫Heron的希腊数学家（他的名字有时拼写为Hero）在一世纪（约两千年前）居住在埃及的亚历山大港发明的。苍鹭的复发公式比牛顿更简单;苍鹭使用x' = (x + n/x) / 2牛顿使用x' = x - (x^2 - n) / 2x。

第一个测试是零的特殊情况;没有它，(n < 1)测试会导致无限循环。接下来的两个测试将 n 标准化为范围1 < n <= 4;使范围更小意味着我们可以轻松计算 n 的平方根的初始近似值，这是在 x 的第一次计算中完成的，然后“展开循环“并且将递归方程迭代固定次数，因此如果两个连续循环之间的差异太大，则无需进行测试和重复。

顺便说一句，苍鹭是一个非常有趣的人。除了发明一种计算平方根的方法外，他还建造了一台工作喷气发动机，一台投币式自动售货机以及许多其他整洁的东西！

Answer 4

我写这篇文章不应该那么复杂

def squareroot(n,x):
final = (0.5*(x+(n/x)))
print (final)
for i in range(0,10):
    final = (0.5*(final+(n/final)))
    print (final)

或者您可以将其更改为

n = float(input('What number would you like to squareroot?'))
x = float(input('Estimate your answer'))
final = (0.5*(x+(n/x)))
print (final)
for i in range(0,10):
    final = (0.5*(final+(n/final)))
    print (final)

Answer 5

您需要知道的是序列中的第n个术语。从Leibniz系列中，我们知道这是（（-1）** n）/（（2 * n）+1）。只需对初始条件为零的所有i求和这个系列，就可以了。

def myPi(n):

pi=0
for i in range(0,n):
    pi=pi+((-1)**i)/((2*i)+1)
return 4*pi
print (myPi(10000))

使用牛顿方法查找平方根（错误！）
