    I'm guessing it's your homework as you're asking for specifics and theirs a built in function for square root. Show us what you've tried and we can help you from there.

    First work out how to get the square of a number.

    I.E how would you work out the Square of the number 3?

    Once you have that, use reverse engineering to get the square root.
