print a =
wait key

or

a = 2 * 4
print a
wait key

or

There is no operator (or sign if you prefer) for square roots, but there is a function.

a = sqrt( a )

If you want any root, then you can raise the number you want the root of to 1/power ...

a = a ^ 0.5 : ` will give square root
a = a ^ 0.33333333333333 : ` will give cube root

It really doesn't matter that much ...

You pay the price in speed, I pay the price in a little inaccuracy, but at the 7th or 8th significant digit, who cares?
