Description Albert Astals Cid 2004-02-19 00:50:58 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

As i can't reopen http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23687 i am posting it again. 

I really think a square root button is essential, most people (99%) i know don't know sqrt(x) = x ^ 1 / 2, so they won't be able of doing square roots. 

I mean kcalc has lots of 'strange' buttons normal people will never undestand what they mean and it doesn't has a sqrt button even the most cheap calculators out there have.

I second this. Square root is usually persieved as a basic operation, not as a power of 0.5.

Lol I see there is still not sqrt button, this suggestion having been lumped in with the rest but its really needed. I did learn that x raised to the power of 0.5 is the same so thanks guys
