Can someone help me change this to just one line of code?

Question

Can someone help me simplify these lines of code to just one please

x = 1.0
a = float(input('Ingrese el valor de a: \n'))
for k in range(1, 10):
    x = (x + a/x)/2
print(x)

Answer 1

I don't exactly know what you are looking for, but this code uses Newton's Method to calculate the square root with 10 iterations. You can use one-liner if you would like to calculate sqrt:

print(float(input("Enter a number: "))**0.5)

I don't think it would be possible to do the exact same code as you have in one line since you would probably need to import reduce from functools , but that makes it at least two lines. ¯\ (ツ) /¯

Answer 2

Here's the code though I don't think this kind of code will be of any use outside something like code golf.

(lambda x, a: print((lambda f: f(x, a, 1, f))(lambda x, a, i, rec: x if i >= 10 else rec((x+a/x)/2, a, i+1, rec))))(1.0, float(input('Ingrese el valor de a: \n')))
