SQRT returns the square root of a Numeric Expression

Syntax

SQRT(NumExpr)

Arguments

• NumExprs should NumExprs should be greater than or equal to zero.

Remarks

1. SQRT calculates square roots faster than the power-of-0.5 method of calculating square roots (that is, y y=SQRT(x) takes less time to execute then ythen y=x^0.5). If NumExpr NumExpr is less than zero, an error message is displayed;
2. See also SQRSalso SQRS() for the square root of an unbounded numeric expression for physical quantities that have a direction, so greater, less than or equal to zero.
