Returns the square of Value a, i.e. a2, or
returns the square of Value a plus the square of Value b, i.e. a2
+ b2.
Syntax
SQ(Value a)
SQ(Value a, Value b)
Input
| Value a | is a value |
| Domain type: | any Value domain |
| Value b | is a value |
| Domain type: | any Value domain |
Output
| SQ returns: | a real value |
| Domain: | system domain Value |
| Value range: | >=0 |
Note:
When the input value is undefined, the output will also be undefined.
Tip:
When the definition symbol = is used, a dependent output map or dependent output column is created; when the assignment symbol := is used, the dependency link is immediately broken after the output map/column has been calculated.
