Pamu's solution is quite elegant. For those that have forgotten their high school maths:
if a * a = 16, a = 4
but a could also be -4 because -4 * -4 = 16 also
For any real number a, sqrt(a * a) = |a|
sqrt(a * a) = sqrt(16) = 4 = |-4|

sqrt(3M) sqrt(3M)
NAME
sqrt(), sqrtf(), sqrtl(), sqrtw(), sqrtq() - square root functions
SYNOPSIS
HP Integrity Server Only
DESCRIPTION
returns the non-negative square root of x.
is a version of it takes a argument and returns a result.
Integrity Server Only
is a version of it takes a argument and returns a result.
is an version of it takes an argument and returns an result.
is equivalent to on HP-UX systems.
USAGE
To use these functions compile either with the default option or with the and the options.
To use (for Integrity servers) or compile also with the option.
To use any of these functions, make sure your program includes and link in the math library by specifying on the compiler or linker command
line.
For more information, see the at the following site:
RETURN VALUE
If x is +INFINITY, returns +INFINITY.
If x is NaN, returns NaN.
If x is less than zero, returns NaN and raises the invalid floating-point exception.
raises the inexact exception whenever a rounded result does not equal the mathematical result.
ERRORS
If x is less than zero, sets to [EDOM].
Integrity Server Only
HP-UX functions on Integrity servers do not set by default. For setting, compile with the option and the (default) option.
