how do you do the square root sign on the computer?
You type three open braces " { " in a row. I can't
type three of those here because the program would 
just print it again as  .
Then you type immediately after that:
     sqrt(63)+ sqrt(252)
and immediately follow that by three close braces:
             " }}} "
