NAME

       sqrt, cbrt - Square and cube root functions

LIBRARY

       Math Library (libm.a)

SYNOPSIS

       #include <math.h>

       double  sqrt    (double	x);  float  sqrtf  (float  x); long double sqrtl   (long double x); double cbrt   (double y); float  cbrtf  (float
       y); long double cbrtl   (long double y);

DESCRIPTION

       sqrt(), sqrtf(), and sqrtl() compute the rounded square root of x.  For platforms supporting a signed zero, sqrt (-0) = 0.

       cbrt(), cbrtf(), and cbrtl() return the rounded cube root of y.

NAME

     cbrt, cbrtf, cbrtl, sqrt, sqrtf, sqrtl -- cube root and square root functions

LIBRARY

     Math Library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

     #include <math.h>

     double
     cbrt(double x);

     float
     cbrtf(float x);

     long double
     cbrtl(long double x);

     double
     sqrt(double x);

     float
     sqrtf(float x);

     long double
     sqrtl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

     The cbrt(), cbrtf(), and cbrtl() functions compute the cube root of x.

     The sqrt(), sqrtf(), and sqrtl() functions compute the non-negative square root of x.

RETURN VALUES

     The cbrt(), cbrtf(), and cbrtl() functions return the requested cube root.  The sqrt(), sqrtf(), and sqrtl() functions return the requested
     square root unless an error occurs.  An attempt to take the sqrt() of negative x raises an invalid exception and causes an NaN to be returned
     (except that the square root of -0 is valid and equal to -0.)

STANDARDS

     The cbrt(), cbrtf(), cbrtl(), sqrt(), sqrtf(), and sqrtl() functions conform to ISO/IEC 9899:1999 (``ISO C99'').

HISTORY

     The cbrt() function appeared in 4.3BSD.  The sqrtl() function appeared in FreeBSD 8.0.  The cbrtl() function appeared in FreeBSD 9.0.
