Output

Shows: 9 (because 9 * 9 = 81)

This is what the console shows when the example runs.

9

Common mistake

The value can't be negative.

Good to know

RC is another name for the same function: RC(81) also gives 9.

In a flowchart

This is how it appears in a flowchart, with the same shapes Codoritmo draws.

lado ← Raiz(area)
Used inside a calculation. It has no shape of its own; it's used inside a calculation. Flowchart: a process rectangle reading "lado ← Raiz(area)", with one arrow in and one arrow out.
