std::cbrt,std::cbrtf,std::cbrtl – std::cbrt,std::cbrtf,std::cbrtl

Synopsis

Defined in header <cmath>
float cbrt ( float arg ); (1) (since C++11)
float cbrtf( float arg );
double cbrt ( double arg ); (2) (since C++11)
long double cbrt ( long double arg ); (3) (since C++11)
long double cbrtl( long double arg );
double cbrt ( IntegralType arg ); (4) (since C++11)
1-3) Computes the cubic root of arg.
4) A set of overloads or a function template accepting an argument of any integral_type. Equivalent to 2) (the argument is cast to double).

Parameters

arg – value of a floating-point or Integral_type

Return value

If no errors occur, the cubic root of arg (
3
√
arg), is returned.
If a range error occurs due to underflow, the correct result (after rounding) is returned.

Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling
If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

* if the argument is ±0 or ±∞, it is returned, unchanged
* if the argument is NaN, NaN is returned.

Notes

std::cbrt(arg) is not equivalent to std::pow(arg, 1.0/3) because std::pow cannot raise a negative base to a fractional exponent.

Example

// Run this code

#include <iostream>

#include <cmath>
int main()

{
    // normal use
    std::cout << "cbrt(729) = " << std::cbrt(729) << '\n'
              << "cbrt(-0.125) = " << std::cbrt(-0.125) << '\n';
    // special values
    std::cout << "cbrt(-0) = " << std::cbrt(-0.0) << '\n'
              << "cbrt(+inf) = " << std::cbrt(INFINITY) << '\n';
}

Output:

  cbrt(729) = 9
  cbrt(-0.125) = -0.5
  cbrt(-0) = -0
  cbrt(+inf) = inf
