[rrd-users] Re: Quick RPN question... (Square root in RPN?)

[Simon Mullis]

Alex,

Thanks for the idea - That works with natural log:

i.e. Sqrt(x) = exp(ln(x)/2)

Do we have ln in our RPN implementation?  I'm not sure that we do?!!

Thanks

SM

Isn't a square root the same as exp(log(x)/2) ?

CDEF:y=x,LOG,2,/,EXP

Not sure,never tried it, just try it yourself.
