$sqrt - Amazon DocumentDB
Example (MongoDB Shell)Code examples
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

$sqrt

New from version 4.0.

The $sqrt operator in Amazon DocumentDB is used to calculate the square root of a number.

Parameters

  • expression: The argument can be any valid expression as long as it resolves to a non-negative number.

Example (MongoDB Shell)

The following example demonstrates the usage of the $sqrt operator to calculate the square root of a number.

Create sample documents

db.numbers.insertMany([
  { "_id": 1, "number": 16 },
  { "_id": 2, "number": 36 },
  { "_id": 3, "number": 64 }
]);

Query example

db.numbers.aggregate([
  { $project: {
    "_id": 1,
    "square_root": { $sqrt: "$number" }
  }}
]);

Output

[
  { _id: 1, square_root: 4 },
  { _id: 2, square_root: 6 },
  { _id: 3, square_root: 8 }
]

Node.js

      await client.connect();

      const db = client.db('test');

      const pipeline = [
        {
          $project: {
            _id: 1,
            square_root: { $sqrt: '$number' }
          }
        }
      ];

      const results = await collection.aggregate(pipeline).toArray();

      console.dir(results, { depth: null });

    } finally {
      await client.close();
    }
}

  try:

                  }

      results = collection.aggregate(pipeline)

      for doc in results:
          print(doc)

  except Exception as e:
      print(f"An error occurred: {e}")

  finally:
      client.close()
