> Computes the principal [square root][square-root].

The principal [square root][square-root] is defined as

Installation

`` bash
$ npm install math-sqrt
`

Usage

` javascript
var sqrt = require( 'math-sqrt' );
`

#### sqrt( x )

Computes the principal [square root][square-root].

` javascript
var val = sqrt( 4 );
// returns 2

val = sqrt( 9 );
// returns 3

val = sqrt( 0 );
// returns 0
`

For negative numbers, the principal [square root][square-root] is __not__ defined.

` javascript
var val = sqrt( -4 );
// returns NaN
`

Examples

` javascript
var sqrt = require( 'math-sqrt' );

var x;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
x = Math.round( Math.random() * 100 );
console.log( sqrt( x ) );
}
`

To run the example code from the top-level application directory,

` bash
$ node ./examples/index.js

Tests

$3

This repository uses [tape][tape] for unit tests. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

` bash
$ make test
`

All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.

$3

This repository uses [Istanbul][istanbul] as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

` bash
$ make test-cov
`

Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage directory. To access an HTML version of the report,

` bash
$ make view-cov
`

$3

This repository uses [Testling][testling] for browser testing. To run the tests in a (headless) local web browser, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:

` bash
$ make test-browsers
`

To view the tests in a local web browser,

` bash
$ make view-browser-tests
