Find the square root of n












0












$begingroup$


The task:




Given a real number n, find the square root of n. For example, given n
= 9, return 3.




My solution:



const findRoot = n => n >=  0 ? n ** .5 : void 0;

console.log(findRoot(9));


Is this some kind of trick question? What's there to solve? Did I miss something?

    -1 is a real number. You might also be meant to solve it without using sqrt or floating-point exponentiation.
