Chapter 6, Problem 6.22PE

(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)
