Defined in header <cmath>
float       sqrt( float arg );
(1)
double      sqrt( double arg );
(2)
long double sqrt( long double arg );
(3)
double      sqrt( Integral arg );
(4) (since C++11)

Computes the square root of arg.

[edit] Parameters

arg - Value of a floating-point or Integral type

[edit] Return value

Square root of arg.

Domain error occurs if arg is negative. NAN is returned in that case.
