C-Sharp Sqrt Example – Code Sample Syntax

C-Sharp Sqrt Example – Code Sample Syntax

Purpose: – Illustrates using .

Purpose:
takes number as a double data type and returns the square
root as a double data type.

Syntax:
Sqrt(doublenumber)

Parameters Description
doublenumber double percision floating point
number that you want to find the square root

Result Data Type Description
double square root of the input parameter
1. If input is 0 or positive, result is square
root of parameter1
2. If input is negative or NaN (Not a Number),
result is NaN
3. If input is positive infinity, result is
positive infinity

Quick Example
Sqrt(4) // Returns 2

Step 1: Click cs to Cut-n-paste code into clsSqrt.cs

using System;
public class clsSqrt
{
 
    public void Main()
    {
 
 
        //********************************************************************************
        // Purpose: takes number as a double data type and returns the square 
        // root as a double data type.
        // 
        // Syntax: 	Sqrt(doublenumber)
        //  
        // Parameter1: doublenumber - double percision floating point 
        // number that you want to find the square root 
        //
        // Result: double - square root of the input parameter
        // 1. If input is 0 or positive, result is square
        // root of parameter1
        // 2. If input is negative or NaN (Not a Number),
        // result is NaN
        // 3. If input is positive infinity, result is
        // positive infinity
        //
        // Quick Example: Sqrt(4) // Returns 2
        //
        //********************************************************************************
        // This example is from http://idealprogrammer.com
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #1: 	Sqrt(doublenumber)");
 
        Console.WriteLine("Sqrt(4) = {0}", Math.Sqrt(4)); // Returns 2
 
        //write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine();
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #2: 	Sqrt(doublenumber)");
 
        Console.WriteLine("Sqrt(9) = {0}", Math.Sqrt(9)); // Returns 3
        //write blank line to make output easier to read
        Console.WriteLine();
 
        Console.WriteLine("Example #3: 	Sqrt(doublenumber)");
 
 
        Console.WriteLine("Sqrt(-9) = {0}", Math.Sqrt(-9)); // Returns NaN
 
        //Prevent console from closing before you press enter
        Console.ReadLine();
 
    }
 
}

Step 2: Click cs to Cut-n-paste code into Module1.cs

Module Module1
 
    Sub Main()
 
 
        Dim myclsSqrt As New clsSqrt
        myclsSqrt.Main()
 
 
 
    End Sub
 
End Module

Prerequistes:

  1. Install C-Sharp (Express or Standard Edition)
  2. Install SQL Server Express
  3. Download Northwind and pubs Database
  4. Attach Northwind Database to Databases in Sql Express
  5. Attach pubs Database to Databases in Sql Express

Notes:

  • Console Application is used to simplify things, but Windows Forms or Web Forms could also be used
  • You can build a library of syntax examples by using same project over and over and just commenting out what you do not want to execute in Module1.cs

Instructions:
C-Sharp Syntax Functions Sqrt

  1. Use C-Sharp 2010 Express or Standard Edition
  2. Create new project;
    • Click File/New Project
    • Select Console Application Template
    • Select C-Sharp for Language
    • name of project could be C-Sharp_Syntax.
  3. Add New folder named “Functions”
    • Right-click project name in solution explorer;
    • add new folder;
    • name of folder could be: Functions
  4. Add New subfolder named “MathFunctions”
    • Right-click Functions folder in solution explorer;
    • add new folder;
    • name of folder could be: MathFunctions
  5. Add Class Named clsSqrt to MathFunctions folder
    • Right-click MathFunctions folder;
    • add new item;
    • Select class
    • Class name could be clsSqrt
  6. Click on cs in code in step 1 above to copy code into clsSqrt.cs
  7. Click on cs in code in step 2 above to copy code into Module1.cs
  8. Click green arrow or press F5 to run program
