SQRT — Square-root function¶

SQRT(X)¶

SQRT(X) computes the square root of X.

Parameters: X – The type shall be REAL or COMPLEX.
Returns: The return value is of type REAL or COMPLEX. The kind type parameter is the same as X.

Syntax:

RESULT = SQRT(X)

Example:

program test_sqrt
  real(8) :: x = 2.0_8
  complex :: z = (1.0, 2.0)
  x = sqrt(x)
  z = sqrt(z)
end program test_sqrt
