| Syntax: | SQRT(numeric-argument) |
| Discussion: | The SQRT function returns the square root of a numeric-argument. |
| History: | This function is available in Comet 504 and greater, and is supported only on systems containing a math co-processor (i.e., 80287, 80387) or built-in math co-processor (i.e., 486, Pentium, Pentium Pro, etc.). |
| Example: |
LENGTH 8.2 & LOCAL A, B . . . PRINT (0) "ENTER A NUMBER (######.##):" INPUT (0) A B = SQRT(A) PRINT (0) "THE SQUARE ROOT IS:";B |
