| Function name: | sqr - Calculate square |
| Synopsis: | sqr(x) |
| Input data type | Output data type |
|---|---|
| real | real |
| complex | complex |
| quaternion | quaternion |
Description:
sqr(z) is identical to z*z, but sqr(z) can be faster than z*z.
Normally ChaosPro recognizes that z*z can be rewritten by the faster routine sqr(z). But if the argument is a more complex expression, ChaosPro won’t recognize it.
Thus don’t write (z+sin(a)*4) * (z+sin(a)*4). Please write it as sqr( z+sin(a)*4 ).
