+
+sq()
+====
+
+(Macro) computes the square of a number.
+
+Syntax
+------
+
+::
+
+ sq(a)
+
+Parameters
+----------
+
+**a**: the number.
+
+Returns
+-------
+
+**a** squared (**a** × **a**).
+
+Warning
+-------
+
+Because of the way ``sq()`` is implemented, avoid using other
+functions or causing side effects inside the parentheses, as it may
+lead to incorrect results::
+
+ b = sq(a++); // avoid this - yields incorrect results
+
+ b = sq(a); // use this instead -
+ a++; // keep other operations outside sq()
+
+
+Arduino Compatibility
+---------------------
+
+Maple's implementation of ``sq()`` is compatible with Arduino.
