Compile error using sqrt() in c

I have a problem using sqrt() in c.

I'm trying to do something like this:

int a;

a = sqrt(9);

etc

I'm restricted to use:

gcc -ansi -Wall -pedantic oneFile.c anotherFile.c thirdFile.c -o outputFileName

How can I make this compile without using the -lm command?

Yes, I have #include !

Is there any way around this and still use sqrt()?

Thanks

Solution

  • just try with this function, If you don`t want to use library.

    Sq_root(n)
{
    count=0;
    int i = 0;
    for(i=1;sum<=n;i+=2)
    {
        sum+=i;
        count++;
    }
    return (count);
}

    This will work, without any math library.
