Math - Roots

[erifash]

This function will find any root of a given number; square, cubed, etc. Here's the code:

Func _xRoot( $num, $root )
    Return $num ^ ( 1 / $root )
EndFunc

Nice! And what's funny is that I signed up a year after you and I have more posts than you!

So long,

It works, didn't know what it was at first.

@AutoItKing I signed up 4 months after you and I have more posts than you

edit: I was just showing how irrelevant that information is.

That's because I think before I post. Nearly all your replies are one-liners barely relevant to the topic, solely for the purpose of increasing your post count.

I think, just not much anymore since I find that it has no point.

Nice, but you could easily improve it's robustness like so :

Func _xRoot( $num, $root )
    If $root == 0 Then
        Return "Indeterminate"
    Else
        Return $num ^ ( 1 / $root )
    EndIf
EndFunc

@Cubehead, it's best not to return strings if it is an error:

Func _xRoot( $num, $root )
    If $root = 0 Then
        Return SetError(1, 0, 1)
    Else
        Return $num ^ ( 1 / $root )
    EndIf
EndFunc

edit: it it > it is

Wow someone paid a little attention during math's class. Congratulations.
