Claudio: I have a question. Why does the square root function return an "Approximate" value when the root is a whole number like 9 √ yelds 3. , but the
Xth root of Y function returns an "Exact" value? 9 2 XROOT yields 3 ? I would expect BOTH functions to return "Exact" 3 with these inputs, but they are inconsistent, why?

To make this puzzle more curious, the square root of 25 returns an "Exact" value 5 , with no decimal point. All other perfect integer squares between 1 and 12 return an "Approximate" value.
1 √ yelds 1.
4 √ yields 2.
9 √ yields 3.
16 √ yields 4.
25 √ yields 5 <-- Note: No Decimal point!
36 √ yields 6.
49 √ yields 7.
64 √ yields 8.
81 √ yields 9.
100 √ yields 10.
121 √ yields 11.
144 √ yields 12.
I confirmed that the XROOT function with the X value of 2 in all of these cases returns the "Exact" value as expected. 16 2 XROOT yields 4 for instance.

i also discovered that only powers of 5 squared will return an exact result if you take the square root of that squared number.
.5 SQ √ yields .5 exact
5 SQ √ yields 5 exact
50 SQ √ yields 50 exact
500 SQ √ yields 500 exact etc.

I realize that the "Exact" and "Approximate" distinction is small, but I think it is strange, and anomalous behavior never the less.
