Hippie Dude,

Get a sqare root by using the sqrt command.

eg:


Exponents are almost created like scientifically, using the ^ symbol.

eg:


...which is 3 to the 5th power.

Just additional information:

When using ^-1, use 1/ instead.



This test runs the math equations a 100 000 times and then displays the time in milliseconds. On my pc, a = 5 ^ -1 is 50ms and 1/5 is 37ms.

Time is...fps?
