nodemcu Lua sqr function

Question

-I want to buy nodemcu board and apply the Pythagora's Theorem but I dont know if sqr function exists on nodemcu lua interpreter ?

I googled on web and I found few doc with sqr() but on official Faq math funtions are omitted:

-The debug and math libraries have also been omitted to reduce the runtime footprint.- (https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io/en/dev/en/lua-developer-faq/.)

Does it exist? Thanks so much

If you're going to use the wifi capabilities, you could also use a RESTful service to let an external server do your SQRT() calculations and then use the result you receive . You can search for the "math" tag on Programmableweb, but i have linked you the wolfram Alpha API , which can do more than just math. http://www.programmableweb.com/api/wolfram-alpha
