NAME

csqrt, csqrtf, csqrtl — complex square root functions

SYNOPSIS

#include <complex.h>

double complex
csqrt(double complex z);

float complex

These functions compute the complex square root of z, with a branch cut along the negative real axis.

RETURN VALUES

These functions return the complex square root value, in the range of the right half-plane (including the imaginary axis).
