    Square Roots

    I'm creating a roller coaster program. I need to find a way to get the squareroot of a given number. Does anybody know?

    Use the sqrt(); function in math.h this will take a number and return its square root.

    #include <math.h>
    double root;
    root = sqrt(16); // this will give you the square root of 16
