The “sqrt” Function in R

• Package: Base R (No specific package, it’s a built-in function)

• Purpose: To compute the square root of a numeric vector.

• General Class: Mathematical Computation

• Required Argument(s):

• x: A numeric vector for which the square root is to be computed.

• Notable Optional Arguments:

• None

• Example:

• # Example usage
  my_vector <- c(4, 9, 16, 25)
  
  # Compute the square root
  sqrt_values <- sqrt(my_vector)
  
  print(sqrt_values)

• In this example, sqrt is a built-in function in base R, and it is used to compute the square root of a numeric vector. The x argument is the required numeric vector for which the square root is calculated. There are no notable optional arguments for this function. The result is a numeric vector where each element represents the square root of the corresponding element in the input vector.
