</p>
<p>
The return type of this function is computed using the <a class="link" href="../../main_overview/result_type.html" title="Calculation of the Type of the Result"><span class="emphasis"><em>result
type calculation rules</em></span></a>: the return is <code class="computeroutput"><span class="keyword">double</span></code>
when <span class="emphasis"><em>x</em></span> is an integer type and T otherwise.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
The final <a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Policies">Policy</a> argument
is optional and can be used to control the behaviour of the function:
how it handles errors, what level of precision to use etc. Refer to the
<a class="link" href="../../policy.html" title="Policies">policy documentation for more details</a>.
</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>
This function is useful when you need the difference between sqrt(x) and
1, when x is itself close to 1.
</p>
<p>
Implemented in terms of <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">log1p</span></code>
and <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">expm1</span></code>.

<p>
For built in floating-point types <code class="computeroutput"><span class="identifier">sqrt1pm1</span></code>
should have approximately 3 epsilon accuracy.
