In other words, .Fn csqrt , .Fn csqrtf , and .Fn csqrtl always return the square root whose real part is non-negative. .Sh RETURN VALUES These functions return the requested square root. The square root of 0 is .Li +0 \*(Pm 0 , where the imaginary parts of the input and respective result have the same sign. For infinities and \*(Nas, the following rules apply, with the earlier rules having precedence: l -column -offset indent "-\*(If + \*(Na*I" "\*(If \*(Pm \*(If*I " "(for all k)" .Em "Input" Ta Em "Result" Ta \& k + \*(If*I \*(If + \*(If*I (for all k) -\*(If + \*(Na*I \*(Na \*(Pm \*(If*I \& \*(If + \*(Na*I \*(If + \*(Na*I \& k + \*(Na*I \*(Na + \*(Na*I \& \*(Na + k*I \*(Na + \*(Na*I \& -\*(If + k*I +0 + \*(If*I \& \*(If + k*I \*(If + 0*I \& .El

p For numbers with negative imaginary parts, the above special cases apply given the identity: .Dl csqrt(conj(z) = conj(sqrt(z)) Note that the sign of \*(Na is indeterminate. Also, if the real or imaginary part of the input is finite and an \*(Na is generated, an invalid exception will be thrown. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr cabs 3 , .Xr fenv 3 , .Xr math 3 , .Sh STANDARDS The .Fn csqrt , .Fn csqrtf , and .Fn csqrtl functions conform to .St -isoC-99 . .Sh BUGS For .Fn csqrt and .Fn csqrtl , inexact results are not always correctly rounded.
