1-3) Computes square root of
arg.
4) Type-generic macro: If
arg has type long double, sqrtl is called. Otherwise, if arg has integer type or the type double, sqrt is called. Otherwise, sqrtf is called. If arg is complex, then the macro invokes the corresponding complex function (csqrtf, csqrt, csqrtl)

[edit] Parameters
| arg | - | floating point value |
[edit] Return value
If no errors occur, square root of arg (√arg), is returned.
If a domain error occurs, an implementation-defined value is returned (NaN where supported)
If a range error occurs due to underflow, the correct result (after rounding) is returned.
[edit] Error handling
Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling
Domain error occurs if arg is less than zero.
If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),
- If the argument is less than -0, FE_INVALID is raised and NaN is returned.
- If the argument is +∞ or ±0, it is returned, unmodified.
- If the argument is NaN, NaN is returned
[edit] Example
Run this code
#include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <errno.h> #include <fenv.h> #pragma STDC FENV_ACCESS ON int main(void) { // normal use printf("sqrt(100) = %f\n", sqrt(100)); printf("sqrt(2) = %f\n", sqrt(2)); printf("golden ratio = %f\n", (1+sqrt(5))/2); // special values printf("sqrt(-0) = %f\n", sqrt(-0.0)); // error handling errno = 0; feclearexcept(FE_ALL_EXCEPT); printf("sqrt(-1.0) = %f\n", sqrt(-1)); if(errno = EDOM) perror(" errno == EDOM"); if(fetestexcept(FE_INVALID)) puts(" FE_INVALID was raised"); }
Possible output:
sqrt(100) = 10.000000
sqrt(2) = 1.414214
golden ratio = 1.618034
sqrt(-0) = -0.000000
sqrt(-1.0) = -nan
errno = EDOM: Numerical argument out of domain
