Question 5
The algorithm, represented using pseudo-code in Figure 4, and the variable table, Table 2, describe a program that outputs an estimate for a particular calculation.
Figure 4
OUTPUT "Enter a number:"
INPUT N
F = 16.0
IF N >= 1.0
THEN
X = N
WHILE X * X – N > 1.0 AND F – 1.0 > 1.0 DO
L = X
X = X ÷ F
WHILE X * X <= N DO
F = F – 0.1
X = L ÷ F
ENDWHILE
ENDWHILE
OUTPUT X
ELSE
OUTPUT "Not a number greater than or equal to 1"

What you need to do
- Write a program for the algorithm in Figure 4.
- Test the program by conducting the tests:
- Test that your program works correctly by entering the number 0.1
- Test that your program works correctly by entering the number 4.1
