# Square Root

Menu Path : **Operator > Math > Arithmetic > Square Root**

The **Square Root** Operator calculates the square root of each input value. For example, an input of (0.25,1,9) outputs (0.5,1,3).  The square root of a negative number is undefined.

This Operator accepts a number of input values of various types. For the list of types this Operator can use, see [Available Types](#available-types). The **Square Root** Operator always returns a value in the same type as its input.
