The function $sqrt[] calculates the square root of a non-negative number.
Syntax
bdfd
$sqrt[value]
Syntax
$sqrt[value]
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
value |
number | Yes | The number to calculate the square root of. ≥ 0. |
Behavior
- Returns the square root of the value as a decimal number (double precision).
- For perfect squares, the result is an integer:
$sqrt[16]→4. - For other values, the result is a decimal number:
$sqrt[2]→1.4142135.... - For
0, it returns0. - For negative numbers, the behavior is undefined (may return
NaNor an error).

Notes
- Do not use with negative numbers.
- For powers (squaring), use
$calculate[value^2]or$multi[value;value]. - For other roots (cube root, etc.), use
$calculate[value^(1/3)]. - The precision is that of a Java
double(~15 significant digits).
