Syntax
csqrtf [-hqv] [--help] [--quiet] [--verbose] [complex number expression]
Parameters:
- complex number expression: Specifies the complex number for which to calculate the square root. Use the format
<a> +/- <b>i
, where<a>
and<b>
represent the real and imaginary parts, respectively.
Options/Flags
- -h, –help: Display help information and exit.
- -q, –quiet: Suppress all output except errors.
- -v, –verbose: Enable verbose output, displaying intermediate calculations.
