Learn the Bisection Method by Finding the Square Root of a Number - Step 8

Python
1

Tell us what’s happening:

Ive been strugling with this step for now does anyone have an idea what do?

Your code so far

def square_root_bisection(square_target, tolerance=1e-7, max_iterations=100):
    if square_target < 0:
        raise ValueError('Square root of negative number is not defined in real numbers')
    if square_target == 1:
        root = 1
        print(f'The square root of {square_target} is 1')
    elif square_target == 0:
        root = 0
        print(f'The square root of {square_target} is 0')

At the very least, you probably need matching indentation levels

Though, I’m also a bit confused by the syntax of your else statement? Can you explain how you expect that syntax to work?

3

Next, you are going to work on the cases where the square_target is a positive number apart from 1 or 0.
i was just trying to follow the step

Create an else clause to handle these cases.

4

I can read the instructions, but I can’t read your brain. Can you say how you expect the syntax you wrote to work?

5

well what i was thinking is that ill put ‘else’ because it asked me to then ill put ‘square_target’ next to it because the instructions said that ‘square_target’ needs to be postive then 1 or 0

and so my code is

else square_target += 1:
pass

im not sure if this is correct tho

6

Hmm, you’ve used else before though, right? Has anything previously gone next to the keyword ‘else’?

7

in this exercice this is the first time im using ‘else’

8

else is a catch-all clause, right? Meaning it will match all other conditions that isn’t handled by if or elif conditions above it.

When in doubt, search for it:

In this exercise sure but what about previous exercises?
