The SquareRoot2Py package aims to remove the hassle of computing the square root of 2.

Features

• computing the square root of 2
• up to 16 decimal places of precision
• cross-platform support
• O(1) algorithm
• clear and concise naming

Installation

pip install SquareRoot2Py

Benchmark

Our state-of-the-art algorithm computes the rounded value of the square root of 2 almost 2x faster than the built-in C implementation.

Built-in C implementation

>>> timeit("a = round(2 ** 0.5)", number=10000000)
0.46002930000031483

SquareRoot2Py

>>> timeit("a = SquareRoot2Py.RoundedSquareRoot2Py.compute_rounded_square_root_of_2()", setup="import SquareRoot2Py.RoundedSquareRoot2Py", number=10000000)
0.26070590000017546

Examples

To compute the square root of 2 easily:

import SquareRoot2Py
print(SquareRoot2Py.compute_square_root_of_2())

If you would like to round the result:

import SquareRoot2Py.RoundedSquareRoot2Py
print(RoundedSquareRoot2Py.compute_rounded_square_root_of_2())

For more complex usecases such as calculating the US Government Budget, adjustable rounding can be used:

import SquareRoot2Py.SquareRoot2PyWithAdjustableRounding
print(SquareRoot2Py.SquareRoot2PyWithAdjustableRounding.compute_square_root_of_2_with_adjustable_rounding(3))

We are aware that the name SquareRoot2Py.SquareRoot2PyWithAdjustableRounding might be too long Therefore, the following alias is introduced:

import SquareRoot2Py
print(SquareRoot2Py.WithAdjustableRounding.compute_square_root_of_2_with_adjustable_rounding())
