Square Root -1

Question

Is there a way to calculate sqrt. -1 in any programming language?

Answer 1

Python natively supports complex numbers and operations.

a = -1
print(a**0.5)

Output:

(6.123233995736766e-17+1j)

Although it should be (0+1j), it looks like it's within floating point epsilon range of zero.
