Performing Math operations on decimal datatype in C#?

Question

I was wondering if the above was at all possible. For example:

Math.Sqrt(myVariableHere);

When looking at the overload, it requires a doub

Answer 1

I just came across this question, and I'd suggest a different algorithm than the one SLenik proposed. This is based on the Babylonian Method.

public static decimal Sqrt(decimal x, decimal? guess = null)
{
    var ourGuess = guess.GetValueOrDefault(x / 2m);
    var result = x / ourGuess;
    var average = (ourGuess + result) / 2m;

    if (average == ourGuess) // This checks for the maximum precision possible with a decimal.
        return average;
    else
        return Sqrt(x, average);
}

It doesn't require using the existing Sqrt function, and thus avoids converting to double and back, with the accompanying loss of precision.
