C Programming/math.h/sqrt

sqrt () is a C library function. It is mainly associated with programming language. It is considerd under [math.h] header file.

function:

     #include<math.h>
     double sqrt (double x );
     float sqrt (float x );
     long double sqrt (long double x );

Description: sqrt computes square root. And returns The square root of x. In C++, this function is overloaded in <complex> and <valarray> (see complex sqrt and valarray sqrt). If the argument is negative, a domain error occurs, setting the global variable errno to the value EDOM.

Return Value: Square root of x.

Portability: In C, only the double version of this function exists with this name.

Example:

  /* sqrt example */
  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <math.h>

  int main ()
  {
    double param, result;
    param = 1024.0;
    result = sqrt (param);
    printf ("sqrt(%lf) = %lf\n", param, result );
    return 0;
 }

Output: sqrt(1024.000000) = 32.000000
