SQRS returns the square root of an unbounded numeric expression for physical quantities that have a direction, so greater, less than or equal to zero

Syntax

SQRS(NumExpr)

Arguments 

  • NumExprs unbounded, so greater, less than or equal to zero. 

Remarks

  1. SQRS is important for physical quantities that have a direction (expressed by a + or - sign) and that are used quadratic in expressions.
  2. Please note that SQRS is not the same as SQRT():

SQRS(x) is equivalent to SGN(x)*SQRT( ABS(x))

Examples

SQRS(16)

returns

4

SQRS(-16)

returns

-4
