Square root

[Chompy]

Simple question, is there square root (built-in) in gscript?

x^.5 is the same thing.

Thanks, was hoping for a built-in one tho, but that will work

You could create a public function squareRoot( v) return v ^ 0.5;
xP

I thought that sqrt(val) worked as well? Or am I soo 5 years ago or something

Didn't work, but I know that sqrt(float) works in some other script languages like C I think

C isn't a 'script language', and it only works because there is a library that implemented it.

PHP Code:

#include <math.h>
double sqrt(double); 


or something like that.

oh, didn't know that Well, thanks guys, I'll now start working on something I needed square root for

Massokre's Interesting Fact of the Day:
The ENIAC, a computer that was used in the design of the hydrogen bomb, had a divider/square-rooter built into it's hardware. It could perform 40 divides per second or 3 square roots per second.

:O I didn't know that for sure

Nice, now Stefan can find this computer and connect it too graal?
Did you make the bomb?

Square root is done by x^0.5, which is actually internally converted into a sqrt() C call for best speed

:O so x^0.5 equal to sqrt(x)? nice

*wants his xor operator back* :-(

I'd even be willing to write the program that would convert everyone's nw files and scripts from

a^b to pow(a,b),
a^=b to a=pow(a,b)
and,
a xor b to a^b

How I use Xor, is this >_>

PHP Code:

function onCreated() {
 var1 = "foo";
 var2 = "bar";
 echo(var1 xor var2 ? 1 : 0); // would return true
}
/*
   True  = Not alike
   False = Alike
*/

X_x.. Why are you using xor on strings? That's not how it works :x
