VERSIONlatest This function computes the cube root of a number.

CBRT(1e)

NAME

cbrt - This function computes the cube root of a number.

SYNOPSIS

cbrt(argument)

DESCRIPTION

This mathematical function computes the cube root of a number in the real plane. It returns a number y whose cube is x, meaning that y multiplied by itself 2 times equals x (y*y*y=x). X and y can both be positive or negative.

PARAMETERS

Number: Specify the number (float) used as argument for the cbrt function.

RETURN

Cube root: The cube root value of the argument.

EXAMPLES

Note: In the followings examples, the _ between the { should be removed to make it work.

One can use this function with a variable :

test(q(res={_{
%include "/includes/extenso.sn";
a=27;
cbrt(a);
}}.),
q(res=3.));

With a trigonometric function:

test(q(res={_{
%include "/includes/extenso.sn";
a=cos(PI);
cbrt(a);
}}.),
q(res=-1.));

With floats:

test(q(res={_{cbrt(0.99);}}.),q(res=.996655.));

With big integers:

test(q(res=3.5568933.),q(res=3.55689.));

With negative numbers:

test(q(res={_{cbrt(-8);}}.),q(res=-2.));

With an array:

test(q(res={_{cbrt(256,0,27);}}.),q(res=\[6.3496,0,3\].));
