The Math.sqrt()
static method returns the square root of a number. That is
function calcHypotenuse(a, b) {
return Math.sqrt(a * a + b * b);
}
console.log(calcHypotenuse(3, 4));
// Expected output: 5
console.log(calcHypotenuse(5, 12));
// Expected output: 13
console.log(calcHypotenuse(0, 0));
// Expected output: 0
Syntax Parameters
x
A number greater than or equal to 0.
The square root of x
, a nonnegative number. If x < 0
, returns NaN
.
Because sqrt()
is a static method of Math
, you always use it as Math.sqrt()
, rather than as a method of a Math
object you created (Math
is not a constructor).
Math.sqrt(-1); // NaN
Math.sqrt(-0); // -0
Math.sqrt(0); // 0
Math.sqrt(1); // 1
Math.sqrt(2); // 1.414213562373095
Math.sqrt(9); // 3
Math.sqrt(Infinity); // Infinity
