You can use math.sqrt(x). Here you need to import math. Or another way: √x = x^(1/2) so in python: x**(1/2)

Do you mean how do you calculate it or how do you add the symbol in an output (like a print statement)?

[fixed] Denise Roßberg maybe x**(1/2) ? Rodrigo Soriano Suso note though that you can't do negative numbers. For that you would need complex numbers and cmath.

Bob_Li it is possible work with complex numbers in Python without a library. They are supported intrinsically. x = (-9)**(1/2) print(x) Output: (1.8369701987210297e-16+3j) The real portion has a small floating point error, but that is forgivable. Edit: changed example to show result for -9 and corrected output.

Rain oops, my results were the same as yours for -25. My eyes were tired, and inadvertently I copied from two different screen shots (one used -9, the other -25). The engineering world uses j because i can be confused with the symbol for electric current.

Bob_Li Yeah of course x**(1/2). I will change that. Thanks!

Brian , That last letter should be j since Python decided to be weird and not use i like the rest of the world. Also, interestingly, I got a different small error in the real portion than you did when I pasted your code into Pydroid 3, since I couldn't use the Sololearn playground while reading the discussion. x = (-5)**(1/2) print(x) # (3.061616997868383e-16+5j)

y**(1/2) use this in py for '√' of var y

Use the sqrt() function from math module

To use the radical sign (√) in Python, you can use the math module. Here's an example of how to calculate the square root of a number using the radical sign: python import math number = 16 square_root = math.sqrt(number) print("The square root of", number, "is", square_root) When you run this code, it will output: "The square root of 16 is 4.0"
