💅 square 💅

okay bestie, welcome to the square(3scm) page from the Scheme Programmer's Manual — manual name folded in near the top, exactly as requested, we're doing this cute style now. 💖

✨ NAME ✨

square — multiply a number by itself. periodt. 🎀

📚 LIBRARY 📚

(import (scheme base))              ;R7RS

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

(square z)

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Returns the square of z. This is equivalent to (* z z). ngl, that's the whole plot. ✨

💖 RETURN VALUES 💖

Returns a single value which is a number. one number, one value, main character energy fr fr. 👑

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

(square 42)  => 1764
(square 2.0) => 4.0

🌈 COMPATIBILITY 🌈

Only exists in R7RS. Can be replaced with (lambda (z) (* z z)). so if you're on an older vibe, that lambda is your bestie. it's giving backup plan, and I'm obsessed. 🫶

💀 ERRORS 💀

It is an error for this procedure to be passed the wrong number of arguments, and it is an error if z is not a complex number object. Implementations may signal an error, extend the procedure's domain of definition to include such arguments, or fail catastrophically. fail catastrophically is not a drill, bestie — that's literally what the page says. 😭
