Special Math Instructions Section 3-14
Description ROOT(072) computes the square root of the 8-digit BCD number in S+1 and
S and outputs the integer portion of the result to R. The non-integer remainder
is eliminated.
Flags
Precautions The operands of this instruction (S+1, S, and R) are all treated as BCD val-
ues. If the input data is binary, use the ROTB(620) instruction.
Examples Square Root of 8-digit Number
When CIO 000000 is ON in the following example, ROOT(072) calculates the
square root of the data in D00001 and D00000, and writes the integer portion
of the result in D00100.
Note Figures after the decimal point are truncated for 8-digit numbers.
