e.g. in C:
new_x = n/2;
do
{
x = new_x;
new_x = 0.5 * (x + n/x);
while (abs(new_x-x) > epsilon);
Iteration can be expressed in functional languages using recursion:
solve x n = if abs(new_x-x) > epsilon
then solve new_x n
else new_x
where new_x = 0.5 * (x + n/x)
solve n/2 n

Ivory, () (Heb. pl. shenhabbim, the "tusks of elephants") was early used in decorations by the Egyptians, and a great trade in it was carried on by the Assyrians (Ezek. 27:6; Rev. 18:12). It was used by the Phoenicians to ornament the box-wood rowing-benches of their galleys, and Hiram's skilled workmen made Solomon's throne of ivory (1 Kings 10:18). It was brought by the caravans of Dedan (Isa. 21:13), and from the East Indies by the navy of Tarshish (1 Kings 10:22). Many specimens of ancient Egyptian and Assyrian ivory-work have been preserved. The word _habbim_ is derived from the Sanscrit _ibhas_, meaning "elephant," preceded by the Hebrew article (ha); and hence it is argued that Ophir, from which it and the other articles mentioned in 1 Kings 10:22 were brought, was in India.
