Sqrt

See Also: Math Functions

Purpose

Sqrt returns the square root of a value.

Return Type

Number

Syntax

(Sqrt({expression}))

Parameters

• {expression}: Can be any data type except string.

What It Does

Sqrt returns the value which, if multiplied by itself, equals the original {expression}.

Number nRoot
Move (Sqrt(9)) To nRoot

In this example, the square root of 9 is moved to the number variable nRoot.

If {expression} is negative, Sqrt will give the same result as though {expression} were positive.

Notes

• Sqrt converts the {expression} parameter to a real value and outputs a real value.
