xcall FP_SQRT(result, operand)
Arguments
result
Returned with the result of taking the square root of operand. (a8)
operand
An operand whose square root will be returned. (a8)
Discussion
The FP_SQRT subroutine returns the square root of a floating-point number.
The following equation is performed:
result = sqrt(operand)
Result and operand are native floating-point numbers represented as a8 variables.
Examples
