A short look to Wikipedia finds us a neat algorithm to calculate the square-root digit-by-digit.
I have optimized it a little bit with the target to use not so many variables:
IEnumerable<int> DRoot(int r)
{
BigInteger c = r;
BigInteger p = 0;
int x = 0;
for (ii = 0; ii < 100; ii++)
{
for (x = 0;(x+1)*(20*p + (x+1)) <= c;x++);
c = 100*c - 2000*p*x - 100*x*x;
p = p*10 + x;
}
return p;
}
The algorithm is pretty simple, but god do I hate long addition/multiplication in Befunge.
We need 120 base-10 digits for the numbers p
and c
.
In our program we use base-100 notation. This way we can fit the numbers in a single befunge-93 row
and can simply multiply by 100 with a single left shift operation.
