// Explicit forward declaration

    double sqrt(double x); 
    lr_output_message ("Square root of 9 = %f\n", sqrt(9));
    lr_output_message ("Square root of 8 = %f\n", sqrt(8));
    lr_output_message ("Square root of -8 = %f\n", sqrt(-8));

Example: Output:
Action.c(5): Square root of 9 = 3.000000
Action.c(6): Square root of 8 = 2.828427
Action.c(7): Square root of -8 = -1.#IND00
