JavaScript | Math.cbrt() function

The Math.cbrt() function is an inbuilt function in JavaScript which is used to find cube root of a number.
Syntax:

Math.cbrt(x)

Parameters: This function accepts a sinle parameter, which is a simply a number whose cube root need to find.

Returns: It returns the cube root of the given number.

Example:

Input  : Math.cbrt(8)
Output : 2

Explanation:
∛8
= ∛2*2*2
= 2
Here cube root of 8 is calculated to 2 because when any 3 times repeated any number is present
inside of the cube root then only one number is taken out as the value of the cube root.

Below codes will illustrate the function:

• Example 1: Multiple numbers’ cbrt.

  Output:

  Output : 4
  Output : 3
  Output : 0
  Output : -1
  Output : -3
  Output : Infinity

• Example 2: Errors and Exceptions, it is an error case because cube root of complex number can not be found that is why its parameter gives error.

  <script type="text/javascript">    // cube root of complex number can not be calculated.   document.write("Output : " + Math.cbrt(1 + 2i)); </script>

  filter_none

  Output:

  Error: Invalid or unexpected token

• Example 3: Cube root of string can not be found that is why string parameter of the function gives NaN i.e, not a number. An only integer value can be used as the parameter for the function.
