C++ program to find the square root of a number by using sqrt

How to use sqrt method to find the square root of a number in C++:

math.h header file or cmath provides a couple of useful utility mathematical functions. For finding the square root of a number, we can easily use sqrt function. This function takes one number as its parameter and returns the square root for that number. In this post, I will show you how to use sqrt method with an example.

Definition of sqrt:

sqrt is defined as like below:

float sqrt(float num)
double sqrt(double num)
long double sqrt(long double num)

As you can see here, it takes one parameter, i.e. the number to find the square root.

To use this, we need to import cmath or math.h header file.

Example program:

Let’s take a look at the example program:

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    float num;

    cout << "Enter a number: " << endl;
    cin >> num;

    cout << "Square root: " << sqrt(num) << endl;

    return 0;
}

This program takes one number as the input from the user and finds the square root. If you run this program, it will print output as like below:

Enter a number: 
111
Square root: 10.5357

Enter a number: 
100
Square root: 10

Finding square root of all numbers in a range(1 to 100):

We can also find the square roots of all numbers in a range. We need to run one loop for that. For example, the below program uses one for loop to find the square root of all numbers from 1 to 100.

#include <iostream>
#include <math.h>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
    for (int i = 1; i <= 100; i++)
    {
        cout << "Square root for " << i << ": " << sqrt(i) << endl;
    }
    return 0;
}

It will find the square root of all numbers from 1 to 100 and print them.
