When you look in the index of the reference manual, the trick is to know that even Ada shortens the name of the function to Sqrt.

The Ada standard library doesn't include a square root function for integer types, so you will have to either:

  • Convert your integer to a floating point type, use the standard library, and then convert back,

or

  • Write your own integer square root function.
