Re: getting nth root of an integer

I need to get the nth root of integers and find that pow(x, 1/p) doesn't work where p = power. I looked in the math.h file but didn't see anything that jumped out at me other than sqrt. Is there a function to get nth roots?

Yes, and you found it.

If the variable p is an integer, however, by C's integer division rules 1/p will be 0 whenever p != 1. pow(x, 1.0/p) will probably do what you want.
