Sounds dumb, but how do you do a square root.

| This sounds like a dumb question in such a powerfull math programming
language, and I'm thinking there has to be a way to do it. How do you
perform square root. I'm using APL2C, and there is no square
root/radical symbol, and I cant find any type of keywords either.
Thanks again

Raise x to the power 0.5:
x*0.5

| Thanks. I just found that. Never even thought of doing it like that.
Used to typing some keyword in. Thanks though.
