Implementation SQRT in C#

Question

I need to know how is Math.Sqrt square root function implemented in c# by Microsoft. Is there anyone who knows it?

I bet it's a native function. Anything else would be a bit slow — John Dvorak, Feb 27 '13 at 11:37
Sqrt is computed (as a single ASM instruction) directly in the CPU, either the x87 unit or an SSE instruction. — J..., Feb 27 '13 at 11:38

C# calls the native sqrt() from <cmath> C++.

Getting the source code for CLR to prove it!
