Square root (SQRT) in JavaScript

How to return the square root value in JavaScript?


Square Root

The square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the number. 

EXAMPLE:  

In JavaScript, by using SQRT property & sqrt()Method we can return the square root value.

Difference between SQRT & sqrt 

  • Both SQRT & sqrt()  are used to find the value of square root in JavaScript. 
  • SQRT is a property, where as sqrt() is a method.
  • SQRT property has only two parameters [SQRT2, SQRT1_2] in JavaScript. So we have to use only those two parameters to get the exact output. Incase if we enter the any input value, the output will show 'undefinied'. 
  • sqrt() method has no parameters, that means we can enter the input value manully in sqrt() method [Eg: sqrt(36)].
  • SQRT property returns only the square root values of 2, 1/2. Where as sqrt() method returns square roots for all the input numbers, except the negative numbers.

Returning the square root values by using SQRT property.

EXAMPLE: Returning the Square root of 1/2 value (SQRT1_2). 

<p>Click the below button to return Square root.</p>
<input type="button" onclick="myNumber()" value="Click">
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    function myNumber() {
        document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = Math.SQRT1_2;
    }
</script>

In the above code snippet we have given Id as "myId"to the second <p> element in the HTML code. There is a function myNumber() in the<script>block which is connected to the onclick of the HTML button. We need to return the square root of 1/2 value, for that we are usingSQRT1_2property. Onclick of the button "Click" in the HTML code fires the function myNumber() in the <script> block, at the same time Math.SQRT1_2property return the square root value of 1/2 as output.

OUTPUT

Returning the Square root of 2 value (SQRT2)

<p>Click the below button to return Square root.</p>
<input type="button" onclick="myNumber()" value="Click">
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    function myNumber() {
        document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = Math.SQRT2;
    }
</script>

Square root of 2

Onclick of the button "Click" in the HTML code fires the function myNumber() in the <script> block, at the same time Math.SQRT2property return the square root value of 2 value as output.

OUTPUT

Returning the values of square root by using sqrt property.

Returning the square root value of 4 (sqrt4)

<p>Click the below button to return Square root.</p>
<input type="button" onclick="myNumber()" value="Click">
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    function myNumber() {
        document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = Math.sqrt(4);
    }
</script>

Square root of 4

In the above code snippet we have given Id as "myId"to the second <p> element in the HTML code. There is a function myNumber() in the<script>block which is connected to the onclick of the HTML button. We need to return the square root of 4 value, for that we are usingsqrt(4)property. Onclick of the button "Click" in the HTML code fires the function myNumber() in the <script> block, at the same time Math.sqrt(4)property return the square root value of 4 as output.

OUTPUT

Returning the square root values for different numbers

<p>Click the below button to return Square root.</p>
<input type="button" onclick="myNumber()" value="Click">
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    function myNumber() {
        var a = Math.sqrt(4);
        var b = Math.sqrt(9);
        var c = Math.sqrt(16);
        var d = Math.sqrt(25);
        var e = Math.sqrt(36);
        var f = Math.sqrt(49);
        var g = Math.sqrt(64);
        var h = Math.sqrt(81);

        var r = a + "<br>" + b + "<br>" + c + "<br>" + d + "<br>" + e + "<br>" + f + "<br>" + g + "<br>" + h;
        document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = r;
    }
</script>

Square roots of different values

Onclick of the button "Click" in the HTML code fires the function myNumber() in the <script> block, at the same time Math.sqrt()property return the square root value of input numbers as output.

OUTPUT

NOTE: The sqrt() method returns output 'NaN' for the negative input numbers.

Returning the square root value of '-36'

<p>Click the below button to return Square root.</p>
<input type="button" onclick="myNumber()" value="Click">
<p id="myId"></p>

<script>
    function myNumber() {
        document.getElementById("myId").innerHTML = Math.sqrt(-36);
    }
</script>

Square root of nageative value

In the above code snippet we have given negative value to the sqrt() method. The sqrt() method returns 'NaN' as output to the negative numbers.

OUTPUT


What Euler's number, you will need to explain.
