Tell us what’s happening:

Had no idea why FCC didn’t pass my code I already put _ right in middle of for loop variable but nothing works

Your code so far


# User Editable Region

def square_root_bisection(square_target, tolerance=1e-7, max_iterations=100):
    if square_target < 0:
        raise ValueError("Cannot calculate square root of negative number")  
    low, high = 0, min(1,target)
    
    for _ in range(max_iterations): 
        mid = (low + high) / 2
        square = mid * mid

        if abs(square - square_target) < tolerance:
            return mid           
        if square < square_target:
            low = mid
        else:
            high = mid   
    return (low + high) / 2

Welcome to the forum @galang20240100300

For that, inside the else block, create a for loop that runs up to max_iterations times.

For this step the for loop need to go in the else block.

Happy coding

why did they never tell us that , it was so confusing

4

that it has to go in the else block? it’s literally there
