C# Cbrt()

The Math.Cbrt() method in C# returns the cube root of a given number. It handles positive, negative, and special floating-point values such as NaN and infinities.

Syntax

Math.Cbrt(double x)

Parameters:

• x (double): The number whose cube root is to be calculated.

Return value:

The method will return a value of type double unless the value passed is one of the following:

• If x is NaN, the method will return NaN.
• If x is PositiveInfinity, the method will return PositiveInfinity.
• If x is NegativeInfinity, the method will return NegativeInfinity.
• If x is negative, the method will return the real cube root (a negative number).

Example

In this example, different numeric values are passed to Math.Cbrt() to calculate their cube roots:

using System;

namespace MyCubeRoot {
  public class Example {
    public static void Main(string[] args) {
      double a = Math.Cbrt(27);
      double b = Math.Cbrt(-8);
      double c = Math.Cbrt(1000);
      double d = Math.Cbrt(0.125);

      Console.WriteLine(a);
      Console.WriteLine(b);
      Console.WriteLine(c);
      Console.WriteLine(d);
    }
  }
}
