csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl

Retrieves the square root of a complex number, with a branch cut along the negative real axis.

Syntax

_Dcomplex csqrt(
   _Dcomplex z
);
_Fcomplex csqrt(
   _Fcomplex z
);  // C++ only
_Lcomplex csqrt(
   _Lcomplex z
);  // C++ only
_Fcomplex csqrtf(
   _Fcomplex z
);
_Lcomplex csqrtl(
   _Lcomplex z
);

Parameters

z
A complex number.

Return value

The square root of z. The result is in the right half-plane.

Remarks

Because C++ allows overloading, you can call overloads of csqrt that take and return _Fcomplex and _Lcomplex values. In a C program, csqrt always takes and returns a _Dcomplex value.
