Sorry, I know this is probably a stupid question, but I've been using VB for three days and I'm totally new to programming. I know +, -, *, / and ^ but square root doesn't have a keyboard representation.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

It's Sqr()

There are a lot of math functions that do not use symbols...usually a quick search of a good VB book or the Help files will yield what you're looking for.

Thanks for the help, I'm one step closer to finishing now.

I guess (4 ^ 0.5) is sq root of 4. I am not too sure. Left school (and algebra long back)

It is, as is 4^(1/x) the Xth root of a number.

Thanks for confirming what I said. Algebra used to be my favourite subject. Used to get highest in class . But left it long long back.
