Sqr Function

Function

The Sqr function returns the square of real or complex numbers. The function is a simplified version of the function Power (x, 2). Instead of the function x² can be used on the worksheet.

The argument can be a single number or a data field. For data fields, the square is calculated for each element and the results are returned in a data field of equal size. It should be noted that this also applies to matrices. No matrix multiplication is performed on Sqr (matrix). There are other functions available for this.
