Well I'm not too sure what your looking for here. y=x^2

to get y, you must input a x value..

you can't really do it the other way around

Oh that means let's say 

f(x)=x^2

f(5)=x^2

you input is 5, and your output is (5)^2

but that's basically the same thing lol

i wouldn't worry to much about that
