For me, the function sqrt() which obviously returns a square root is messing up for me on moderately large numbers. anything below 10,000 and it gives me about the right answer, but at like: range = sqrt(300,000) I get a 0 as a return value? I tried doing: int range; double range; float range; Nothing seemed to work. Anyone else ever have problems with sqrt? I'm prolly gonna check faqs and news groups for a few moments then rewrite the function if I get nothing. I'm not stuck, just mildly perplexed at the moment.
