take the square of array elements - labview 7.1

[labview_dummy]

Hello,

I am using labview version 7.1 and apparently it doesnot have square function in the numeric pallete. I have to take the square of each elements of a 2-D array and create a new array. i was wondering if anyone knows how to do this in the version I am using. 

Thanks!

Uh, what's wrong with the multiply function?

First you give them (electronic) calculators and now they don't know about simple math

Sorry labview_dummy, but this comes to my mind when reading your question...

Hi,

one more suggestion: x^2=exp(2*ln(x))

Just in case multiplication is too trivial.

And just to show how to implement Dennis's code with your application:

Just wanted to take a pre-emptive strike against Rube Goldberg code

If thats too hard try Or, since you have a 2d array

Cory, that's R-G!  see below the expression node is polymorphic in 7.1 isn't it?

You're right! I forgot you could pass an array to a numeric operator.
Isn't LabVIEW great. Even when you think you made simple code, it can get even simpler.
