/**
 * Square Root
 * 
 * Newton-Raphson method implementation.
 * 
 * 
 * Input:
 *     x: A float
 *     epsilon: A float
 * 
 * Precondition:
 *     x >= 1 and epsilon > 0
 * 
 * Output:
 *     A float in the interval [sqrt(x) - epsilon, sqrt(x) + epsilon]
 * 
 * Example:
 *     >>> sqrt(2, 0.01)
 *     1.4166666666666665
