Square Root

A simple arithmetic function block that calculates the square root of a numeric value. Use this block when you need the positive root of a non-negative number inside your scenario.

📥 Inputs (sockets)

Number The numeric value to compute the square root of. Provide a non-negative value for valid results.

📤 Outputs (sockets)

Number The resulting square root value.

🕹️ Controls

This block has no interactive controls. It computes its output directly from the input socket.

⚙️ Running mechanism

When the block receives a numeric input, it produces the square root of that value at its output each evaluation cycle. If the input is missing or invalid for square root (for example, a negative number), the block will not produce a meaningful numeric result — include a check before feeding such values.

✨ Features

  • Instant numeric operation suitable for live pipelines.

  • Minimal UI footprint — designed to be combined with other math and logic blocks.

  • Works seamlessly in arithmetic chains (e.g., combine with multiply or divide blocks).

📝 How to use

  1. Provide a numeric value into the Number input socket (for example from a Number Input block or the output of another math block).

  2. Read the result from the Number output socket.

  3. If you expect negative inputs, validate first (see tips below).

💡 Tips and Tricks

  • Feed values using Number Input for manual testing or parameter tuning.

  • Validate input non-negativity with Greater before connecting to avoid invalid values.

  • If you want to compute the square root of an absolute value, use Absolute before this block.

  • Round results for display using Round if you need fewer decimals.

  • Use Multiply or Divide before/after to scale values into the desired range.

  • Visualize numeric trends with Scope or log values with CSV Export or Data to JSON for monitoring.

🛠️ Troubleshooting

  • If the output looks incorrect, ensure the input value is non-negative.

  • If no value appears, confirm the input socket is connected (for example, from a Number Input or another math block).

  • Use a simple pre-check chain (Greater → conditional flow) to prevent invalid inputs from reaching this block.
