    That is really messy! You are using uninitialized variables (that is garbage). It looks you want to implement the Babylonian method[^] but you do nothing for computing the initial guess. The following code is based on that very Wikipedia page.

    void initial_guess(double r, int *pa, int *pn)
    {
    *pn = 0;

    while ( r < 1.0)
    {
    r *= 100.0;
    --(*pn);
    }
    while ( r >= 100.0 )
    {
    r /= 100.0;
    ++(*pn);
    }

    *pa = (r < 10.0) ? 2 : 6;
    }

    double square_root(double r)
    {
    int a, i, n;
    initial_guess(r, &a, &n);
    double x=1.0;

    while (n < 0)
    {
    x/=10.0;
    ++n;
    }
    while(n > 0)
    {
    x *= 10.0;
    --n;
    }

    x *= a;

    for (i = 0; i<10; ++i) // 10 is the arbitrary number of iterations I chose
    {
    x = 0.5 * (x + r/x);
    }

    return x;
    }

      actually i changed it to double n include math.h also but output seem same as before. source for square function

      You must remove your version of the sqrt() function. Otherwise it will be used instead of the standard library version. Your version uses ugly programming that directly accesses a single precision (float) value. By changing the type to double it won't work any more. [EDIT]: Forget that. It is an approximation that might be from http://www.azillionmonkeys.com/qed/sqroot.html[^]. But such hardware dependant code should not be used.

            printf("\n summation of squared number is:=%f\t",sum);

            gives output but not the exact answer.. any solution actually i want to find the summation of that squared float number..

                  {
                  double sq = square_root(a[i]);
                  printf("a[%d] = %g, sqrt(a[%d])=%g\n", i, a[i], i, sq);

                  printf("sum of square roots = %g\n", sum);
                  }

                  is

                  a[0] = 0.035679, sqrt(a[0])=0.188889
                  a[1] = 0.079935, sqrt(a[1])=0.282728

                  sum of square roots = 0.971422

                  That is correct (at least according to Excel :-) ).

                    Are you needing the sqaure or the square root? PS and the sum of your numbers is 0.010726.

                      a[2] = 0.03332, sqrt(a[2])=0.182538
                      a[3] = 0.042424, sqrt(a[3])=0.205971
                      a[4] = 0.012387, sqrt(a[4])=0.111297
                      sum of square roots = 0.971422

                      That is correct (at least according to Excel :-) ).

                      this is different program its squaring of number not square root...

                        Are you needing the sqaure or the square root? PS and the sum of your numbers is 0.010726.

                          How do you compute the squares? This program:

                          #include <stdio.h>
                          int main()
                          {
                          double a [] =
                          {
                          0.035679,
                          0.079935,
                          0.033320,
                          0.042424,
                          0.012387
                          };
                          double sum, square;
                          int n;

                          sum = 0.0;
                          for (n=0; n<sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0]); ++n)
                          {
                          square = a[n]*a[n];
                          sum += square;
                          printf("%g ----> %g\n", a[n], square);
                          }

                          printf("sum of squares: %g\n", sum);

                          return 0;
                          }

                          gives:

                          0.035679 ----> 0.00127299
                          0.079935 ----> 0.0063896
                          0.03332 ----> 0.00111022
                          0.042424 ----> 0.0017998
                          0.012387 ----> 0.000153438
                          sum of squares: 0.0107261
