Example

Here is an example using the Math.cbrt() method:

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    double a = 27.0;
    System.out.println("Math.cbrt(" + a + ") returns: " + Math.cbrt(a));

    double b = -8.0;
    System.out.println("Math.cbrt(" + b + ") returns: " + Math.cbrt(b));
  }
}
