      Which sqrt are you referring to? The CRT function sqrt() has four overloads...you need to provide enough info about the types of the return value and the passed argument so the compiler knows which one to use.

      int n = sqrt(3); // error C2668: 'sqrt' : ambiguous call to overloaded function

      double d = sqrt(2.0); // no error - return value and passed argument are doubles

      int n = (int)sqrt((double)3); // no error (except loss of precision converting double to int)
