## Definition

`AdaptableBinaryFunction` that computes whether the first argument is a square. If the first argument is a square the second argument, which is taken by reference, contains the square root. Otherwise, the content of the second argument is undefined.

A ring element \( x\) is said to be a square iff there exists a ring element \( y\) such that \( x= y*y\). In case the ring is a `UniqueFactorizationDomain`, \( y\) is uniquely defined up to multiplication by units.

## Types

typedef unspecified_type | result_type
| Is `AlgebraicStructureTraits::Boolean`.
typedef unspecified_type | first_argument
| Is `AlgebraicStructureTraits::Type`.
typedef unspecified_type | second_argument
| Is `AlgebraicStructureTraits::Type&`.

## Operations

result_type | operator() (first_argument_type x, second_argument_type y)
| returns `true` in case \( x\) is a square, i.e. \( x = y*y\). More...
result_type | operator() (first_argument_type x)
| returns `true` in case \( x\) is a square.

## Member Function Documentation
