NAME¶
csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl - complex square root
LIBRARY¶
Math library (libm, -lm)
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <complex.h>
double complex csqrt(double complex z); float complex csqrtf(float complex z); long double complex csqrtl(long double complex z);
DESCRIPTION¶
These functions calculate the complex square root of z, with a branch cut along the negative real axis. (That means that csqrt(-1+eps*I) will be close to I while csqrt(-1-eps*I) will be close to -I, if eps is a small positive real number.)
