Scala - Math cbrt() Method

The Scala Math cbrt() method returns the cube root of the given number. In special cases it returns the following:

If the argument is NaN, then the result is NaN.
If the argument is infinite, then the result is an infinity with the same sign as the argument.
If the argument is zero, then the result is a zero.

Syntax

def cbrt(x: Double): Double = java.lang.Math.cbrt(x)

Parameters

`x`	Specify a number.

Return Value

Returns the cube root of the specified number.

Exception

NA.

Example:

In the example below, cbrt() method is used to find out the cube root of the given number.

import scala.math._

object MainObject {
  def main(args: Array[String]) {
    println(s"cbrt(10) = ${cbrt(10)}");  
    println(s"cbrt(100) = ${cbrt(100)}"); 
    println(s"cbrt(50) = ${cbrt(50)}"); 
    println(s"cbrt(0) = ${cbrt(0)}");
    println(s"cbrt(-50) = ${cbrt(-50)}");
    println(s"cbrt(Double.NaN) = ${cbrt(Double.NaN)}"); 
    println("cbrt(Double.PositiveInfinity) = "
            + cbrt(Double.PositiveInfinity));
    println("cbrt(Double.NegativeInfinity) = "
            + cbrt(Double.NegativeInfinity));            
  }
}

The output of the above code will be:

cbrt(10) = 2.154434690031884
cbrt(100) = 4.641588833612779
cbrt(50) = 3.6840314986403864
cbrt(0) = 0.0
cbrt(-50) = -3.6840314986403864
cbrt(Double.NaN) = NaN
cbrt(Double.PositiveInfinity) = Infinity
cbrt(Double.NegativeInfinity) = -Infinity
