Calculates the square root of a double precision floating-point value.
Include
<math.h>
Prototype
long double sqrtf(long double x);
Argument
x
Return Value
Returns the non-negative square root of x
.
Remarks
If x
is negative, a domain error occurs.
Example
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <errno.h>
int main(void)
{
double x;
errno = 0;
x = sqrtl(0.0F);
if (errno)
perror("Error");
printf("The square root of 0.0F is %Lf\n", x);
errno = 0;
x = sqrtl(9.5F);
if (errno)
perror("Error");
printf("The square root of 9.5F is %Lf\n", x);
errno = 0;
x = sqrtl(-25.0F);
if (errno)
perror("Error");
printf("The square root of -25F is %Lf\n", x);
}
Example Output
The square root of 0.0F is 0.000000
The square root of 9.5F is 3.082207
Error: domain error
The square root of -25F is nan
