sqrt

This function returns the square root of the given number.

If you multiply a number with itself, you get the square of that number, but sometimes you want to do the reverse and get the square root of a number. So to find what number has been multiplied with itself to get any given positive value we use this function. For example: sqrt(9) will return 3 since 3 * 3 = 9.

NOTE Negative values greater than or equal to negative epsilon are clamped to 0, i.e. they are considered 0. See math_set_epsilon.

Syntax:

sqrt(val);

Returns:

Real

Example:

num = sqrt(val);

The above code will set the variable num to hold the square root of the value contained in val.
