3. Enter a data address and a result address.
If we enter a data address of 200 and a result address of 305, the AF1
establishes the data table format shown in Figure 3.19. The data address
eventually contains the three digits of the number whose square root is sought.
The result address (word 305) contains the first three digits (integer part) of the
result. The three decimal digits of the result are stored in the next higher
address, word 306. The implied decimal point is between digits 3 and 4.
