SQR function

Purpose | Return the square root of its argument.
Syntax | y = SQR(numeric_expression)

Remarks

numeric_expression must be greater than or equal to zero. SQR calculates square roots using an optimized algorithm. That is, y = SQR(x) takes less time to execute than y = x^0.5.

Attempting to take the square root of a negative number does not produce any run-time errors, but the results of such an operation are undefined.

SQR returns an Extended-precision result.
