SQRT(3M) BSD SQRT(3M)
NAME
cbrt, sqrt - cube root, square root
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double cbrt(x)
double x;
double sqrt(x)
double x;
DESCRIPTION
cbrt(x) returns the cube root of x.
sqrt(x) returns the square root of x.
ERROR (due to Roundoff etc.)
cbrt is accurate to within 0.7 ulps.
sqrt on a machine that conforms to IEEE 754 is correctly rounded in
accordance with the rounding mode in force; the error is less than half
an ulp in the default mode (round-to-nearest). An ulp is one Unit in the
Last Place carried.
