[scilab-Users] non-square root function?

[Francis Drossaert]

Uhm that is basics math problem and there is no special function for it (as far I know):

sqrt(4) = 4^(1/2) = 2
3root(8) = 8^(1/3) = 2
4root(16) = 16^(1/4) = 2

Cheers

Subject: [scilab-Users] non-square root function?

Hi,

What is in scilab the inverse function of power, e.g. the non-square 
root? 2**2 = 4, so sqrt(4) = 2. But 2**3 = 8, so the 3rd-power root of 8 
= 2. But what is the function in scilab?

Thanks.
