A Tour of Go. Exercise: Errors. Copy your Sqrt function from the earlier exercises and modify it to return an error value. Sqrt should return a non-nil error value when given a negative number, as it doesn't support complex numbers. Create a new type type ErrNegativeSqrt float64 and make it an error by giving it a func (e ErrNegativeSqrt) Error(…
