How does nRF51422 handle sqrt(n) from C?

[JFreyWahoo]

I am trying to better understand how the nRF51422 handles sqrt(n) coming from C in Keil?

Can anyone explain, or link to resources which do? I am having difficulty finding such an explanation.

Thanks, J

Edit - I mean to ask, is it implemented in hardware or software, and how I could go about making it the most efficient implementation possible.

It depends what you want. Check this post out: www.codeproject.com/.../Best-Square-Root-Method-Algorithm-Function-Precisi I definitely wouldn't assume that the Keil sqrt function included in the MicroLib is the most efficient though depending on the trade-offs you want.
