Root calculator

By Mark Narain Enzinger

Overview

This root claculator uses the Shifting nth root algorithm to calculate the square root of a number by calculating each of its decimal places one after the other.

This calculator can calculate up to 28 digits of a square root. The Number is limited, because of certain values, which grow and become bigger than a MaxSafeInt.

This program has also been written in Python.

Requirements

• node.js

Do:

$ npm -i

to install all dependencies
