+# Square Root
+
+Given a natural radicand, return its square root.
+
+Note that the term "radicand" refers to the number for which the root is to be determined. That is, it is the number under the root symbol.
+
+Check out the Wikipedia pages on [square root](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Square_root) and [methods of computing square roots](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methods_of_computing_square_roots).
+
+Recall also that natural numbers are positive real whole numbers (i.e. 1, 2, 3 and up).
+
+The idea is not to use the built-in javascript functions such as `Math.sqrt(x)`, `x ** 0.5` or `x ** (1/2)`, it's to build your own.
+
+
+## Setup
+
+Go through the setup instructions for Javascript to install the necessary
+dependencies:
+
+[https://exercism.io/tracks/javascript/installation](https://exercism.io/tracks/javascript/installation)
+
+## Requirements
+
+Please `cd` into exercise directory before running all below commands.
+
+Install assignment dependencies:
+
+```bash
+$ npm install
+```
+
+## Making the test suite pass
+
+Execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ npm test
+```
+
+In the test suites all tests but the first have been skipped.
+
+Once you get a test passing, you can enable the next one by changing `xtest` to
+`test`.
+
+
+## Submitting Solutions
+
+Once you have a solution ready, you can submit it using:
+
+```bash
+exercism submit square-root.js
+```
+
+## Submitting Incomplete Solutions
+
+It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have
+completed the exercise.
