Hey. I''m trying to use std::sqrt(), I have tried both #include <cmath> #include <math.h>. I don''t get any error such file not found, but when I try to compile anything with std::sqrt() in it I get a "error C2039: ''sqrt'' : is not a member of ''std''". I''m using VC++ 6. I of cause have a number inside the (). VC++ 6 will however in the list of std members (showing as soon as I write the second '':'') show "sqrt".

VC++6 had a bug in its standard library where functions such as sqrt(), that were supposed to be in the std namespace, weren''t. Just use the one from the global namespace.
