SQRT(3) Linux Programmer's Manual SQRT(3)NAME
sqrt, sqrtf, sqrtl - square root function
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double sqrt(double x);
float sqrtf(float x);
long double sqrtl(long double x);
Link with -lm.
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
sqrtf(), sqrtl():
_BSD_SOURCE || _SVID_SOURCE || _XOPEN_SOURCE >= 600 || _ISOC99_SOURCE || _POSIX_C_SOURCE >= 200112L;
or cc -std=c99
DESCRIPTION
The sqrt() function returns the nonnegative square root of x.
RETURN VALUE
On success, these functions return the square root of x.
If x is a NaN, a NaN is returned.
If x is +0 (-0), +0 (-0) is returned.
If x is positive infinity, positive infinity is returned.
If x is less than -0, a domain error occurs, and a NaN is returned.
ERRORS
See math_error(7) for information on how to determine whether an error has occurred when calling these functions.
The following errors can occur:
Domain error: x less than -0
errno is set to EDOM. An invalid floating-point exception (FE_INVALID) is raised.
CONFORMING TO
C99, POSIX.1-2001. The variant returning double also conforms to SVr4, 4.3BSD, C89.

Hi!
when i'm trying to compile this lite example
on my linux machine I'll get errors and i don't know why..
#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h> /* needed by sqrt() */
int main()
{
printf("%f", sqrt(10.0));
return (0);
}
this is the error:

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':

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+$2);
t=... (7 Replies)
hi friends
can any body tell me how can i find sqrt of a any given number without using expr in bash shell
while i am doing i got some errors please take a look
and code is here
x=$((( ( sqrt($1) ) | bc )))
echo $x
$ sh quadratic-eqn-roots.sh 9

This so basic that it should work.... Any ideas would be appreciared. Using a number directly in the sqrt allows it to compile.

Hi,
i have a the following script:
#!/bin/bash
a=3
b=9
let "c= b*a"
let "d=sqrt $c "
echo $d
But when i execute the code, it gives me the an error saying:
line 5: let: d=sqrt 27 : syntax error in expression (error token is "27 ")
Can any body tell me what I'm doing wrong? (5 Replies)
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... (3 Replies)
