C# - square root and exponents

[rafter109]

I'm having trouble finding the operators for calculating square roots as well as exponents. The C++ operator, sqrt, doesn't work in C# so I've tried raising to the 1/2 power but still with no success.Here's a code snippet incase I'm doing something completely wrong.

float A = float.Parse(aValue.Text);

float B = float.Parse(bValue.Text);

float C;

C = ((A * A) + (B * B)) ^ (1/2);

This is obviously for solving the Pathiagorean Theorem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

System.Math.sqrt()

Wow, thanks a bunch. You've made life so much easier. Don't know why i didnt think of that.

Or:

Math.Pow(number,power);
