Square root 


 

Square root ( number ) -> Function result 
Parameter Type   Description
number  Real in Number whose square root is calculated

Square root returns the square root of number.

The line:

 $vrSquareRootOfTwo :=Square root(2)

The following method returns the hypotenuse of the right triangle whose two legs are passed as parameters:

  ` Hypotenuse method
  ` Hypotenuse ( real ; real ) -> real
  ` Hypotenuse ( legA ; legB ) -> Hypotenuse
 C_REAL($0;$1;$2)
 $0:=Square root(($1^2)+($2^2))

For instance, Hypotenuse (4;3) returns 5.
