[ntl] Square root on finite fields

[Abdelrahaman Aly]

Hi!!!
I’m a newbie with NTL, so I beg your pardon if the question is too simple, but I have been struggling with this for a while. I need to obtain the square root of a given number in a finite field of size p. But the class Z_p does not have an implementation of it. What is the workaround for this matter? Does NTL provide any way to obtain this square root? Any basic implementation will do. 

Best,
