SQRT

Category: Mathematical

The SQRT function in ProBuilder language is used to calculate the square root of a given number. This mathematical function is essential for various calculations, particularly in fields requiring geometric and statistical computations.

Syntax:

SQRT(a)

Where a is a positive number or an expression that evaluates to a positive number. The function returns the square root of a.

Example:

variable1 = 16
root = SQRT(variable1)

In this example, variable1 is assigned the value 16. The SQRT function is then used to find the square root of variable1, which would return 4.

Additional Information:

  • The argument a must be non-negative, as the square root of a negative number is not defined in the set of real numbers.
  • If you need to handle complex numbers or negative inputs, additional functions or error handling will be required.

This function is widely used in financial and technical analysis to normalize data, compute volatility, or manage risk assessments where the square root provides meaningful insights.
