Overview
Availability: Token available everywhere.
Syntax
√(
Description
Takes the square root of a positive or negative number. It works exactly the same as 2×√ or ^(1/2) but is smaller and uses an ending parenthesis. If used on a list, it will return a list with the square root of each element.

√(2)

√({1,-1})
{1 i}
This may return a complex number or throw ERR:NONREAL ANS (depending on mode settings) if taking the square root of a negative number.
Optimization
Never raise something to the one-half power explicitly; use this command instead.
:X^(1/2)→X
can be
:√(X→X
Error Conditions
