sqrt is not find???

I was writing a simple program in linux, which includes sqrt function of c. I included the math.h. But when I use gcc to compile it, it gave an error message: /home/murat/tmp/ccOv9upo.o(.text+0x4b): In function `main': : undefined reference to `sqrt' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status I...

How to create SQRT function in catenate file

HI, I have a file which i catenate and using the fields in the file, I would like to get sqrt of it. I tried to man the function but it normally would need an echo as well as bc. What I am intending to find out is catenate a file where let say cat a.txt| awk ' { t= h*($3+$2); t=...

Q: Is SQRT(n) possible in a POSIX compliant shell? A: Yes within limits.

Hi all... This is just a fun project to see if it is possible to get a square root of a positive integer from 1 to 9200000 to 6 decimal places on a 64 bit architecture machine. It is coded around dash and the results show the values from 0 to 10000. Complex numbers can easily be catered for by...

NAME

       sqrt, sqrtf, sqrtl - square root function

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -lm [ library... ]
       #include <math.h>

       double sqrt(double x);

       float sqrtf(float x);

       long double sqrtl(long double x);

DESCRIPTION

       These functions compute the square root of their argument x.

RETURN VALUES

       Upon successful completion, these functions return the square root of x.

       For finite values of x < -0, a domain error occurs and either a NaN (if supported) or an implementation-defined value is returned.

       If x is NaN, a NaN is returned.

       If x is +-0 or +Inf, x is returned.

       If x is -Inf, a domain error occurs and a NaN is returned.

ERRORS

       These functions will fail if:

       Domain Error    The finite value of x is < -0 or x is -Inf.

		       If the integer expression (math_errhandling & MATH_ERREXCEPT) is non-zero, the invalid floating-point exception is raised.

		       The sqrt() function sets errno to EDOM if the value of x is negative.

USAGE

       An  application	wanting  to  check  for  exceptions should call feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT) before calling these functions. On return, if
       fetestexcept(FE_INVALID | FE_DIVBYZERO | FE_OVERFLOW | FE_UNDERFLOW) is non-zero, an exception  has  been  raised.  An  application  should
       either examine the return value or check the floating point exception flags to detect exceptions.

       An  application	can  also  set	errno  to 0 before calling sqrt(). On return, if errno is non-zero, an error has occurred. The sqrtf() and
       sqrtl() functions do not set errno.
