its the multiplier instead of a simple calculation say 1 x 2, or 3 + 5, do 2 cbrt 8

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
Math.cbrt = function (n) {return Math.pow(n, 1/3)}

alert (Math.cbrt(27))
// -->
</script>

i presumed he already had the script just wanted the command/function to get cubic root and that is cbrt, not doing all the work for him :p

Since one would have to make the function before the use it, they could name it whatever they want. Wouldn't have to name it cbrt.

ok do a search on google for javascript cubic root code, all of the results give cbrt not cubicroot or anything else

My point is that there is no function to do this. Who cares what people name the functions that they create? It is not important... Telling them:Originally posted by 96turnerri

Quite right, that is!

Thanx you all for your interest in my beginners stupid questions. After trying out all the different solutions the simplest one is

pow (n, 1/3)

if this can interest anybody.
