Square Roots!!!!!!!

[SteveCRM]

How do I get square roots in vb?!!!! I've have been trying all day but can't find an equation! Please help. Thanks guys!

Sqr(number)

where "number" is the number you want the square root of.

This is how I do it using VB6

ARG!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE KIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JUST SQR(number)??????????????????????? oh boy! I tried sqrt! Thank you sooooooooooooooooooo much!

If you ever find there is no sqrt function in some language you are using, just remember your Math from school.

  sqrt = x ^ (1/2)

To use logarithms, use

  sqrt = exp(log(x)/2)

only this is less accurate than the first example.

hehe

This way you will know how to work out the nth root of any number in code...
