Could you please tell me a basic description of this block??? I cant show you from the blocks below, but it looks something like this:

Sqrt of 10

12three · 2010-09-10 15:28:39

SQRT is square root. A square root is the reverse operation of squaring a number. For exampl, the sqaure root of 16 would be 4 because 4X4=16.

Yup. Pretty much the opposite of a number to its second power. smile

Here is the format.
sqrt 9 is 3, because two 3's are used in format: first 3 times second 3 is 9.
Now, the format colors:
- symbol is black, does not repersent anything.
- the numbers are blue, they are the answer, needed as the number to be multiplied by itself to make the answer of the times sum correct.
- the answer is red, the number you insert.
- this is the format using sqrt 9.
3x3=9
It searches for sums.
When this sum is found, the answer of sqrt 9 is 3.

This post in a nutshell:

It searches sums.
When a sum is found, the first number of the sum (for example, if it was 2, then 2x someting) is the answer the reporter reports.
