Java Math cbrt()

Syntax of Math cbrt() in Java

The syntax of cbrt() method is given below.

The Java cbrt() method is a static method of Math class.

Parameters of Math cbrt() in Java

The cbrt() method takes only single parameter.

• num: A numeric value of double type whose cube root is to be computed.

Return Value of Math cbrt() in Java

• The cbrt() method returns NaN if passed value is NaN.
• The cbrt() method returns zero if number passed is zero with the same sign.
• If the argument is Infinite then cbrt() will return Infinity with same sign.
• Return type is double

Exceptions of Math cbrt() in Java

cbrt() method does NOT throw any exception.

Example

In this sample code, we are going to see how to use cbrt() method in java.

Output

Code Explanation

• In the above code, we have used cbrt() method to find the cube root of 27 and -125.
• As the cube root of 27 is 3 so it will return 3.0.
• And as we discussed above, cube root of a negative number will be negative so cbrt() will return -5.0 as a cube root of -125.

What is Math cbrt() in Java?

The cube root of a numeric value can be computed using the cbrt() method in Java.

More Examples

Example 1

Finding Cube root of Positive Infinity

Output:

Explanation:

• As we discussed above if argument is infinite then it will return Infinity with same sign as argument.

Example 2

In this example we are going to find cube root of zero with positive and negative signs.

Output:

Explanation:

• As discussed above, if the argument is zero, the return value of cbrt() method is also zero with the same sign.

Example 3

In this example we are going see the return value of Java cbrt() method when the argument is NaN.

Output:

Explanation:

• As discussed above, if the argument is NaN, the return value of Java cbrt() method is also NaN.
