cbrt, cbrtf, cbrtl - cppreference.com

float       cbrtf( float arg );

(1) (since C99)

double      cbrt( double arg );

(2) (since C99)

long double cbrtl( long double arg );

(3) (since C99)

#define cbrt( arg )

(4) (since C99)

1-3) Computes the cube root of arg.

4) Type-generic macro: If arg has type long double, cbrtl is called. Otherwise, if arg has integer type or the type double, cbrt is called. Otherwise, cbrtf is called.

[edit] Parameters arg - floating-point value [edit] Return value

If no errors occur, the cube root of arg (\(\small{\sqrt[3]{arg} }\)3√arg), is returned.

If a range error occurs due to underflow, the correct result (after rounding) is returned.

[edit] Error handling

Errors are reported as specified in math_errhandling.

If the implementation supports IEEE floating-point arithmetic (IEC 60559),

[edit] Notescbrt(arg)

is not equivalent to

pow(arg, 1.0/3)

because the rational number

\(\small{\frac1{3} }\)

is typically not equal to

1.0/3

and

std::pow

cannot raise a negative base to a fractional exponent. Moreover,

cbrt(arg)

usually gives more accurate results than

pow(arg, 1.0/3)

(see example).

[edit] Example
#include <float.h>
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
 
int main(void)
{
    printf("Normal use:\n"
           "cbrt(729)      = %f\n", cbrt(729));
    printf("cbrt(-0.125)   = %f\n", cbrt(-0.125));
    printf("Special values:\n"
           "cbrt(-0)       = %f\n", cbrt(-0.0));
    printf("cbrt(+inf)     = %f\n", cbrt(INFINITY));
    printf("Accuracy:\n"
           "cbrt(343)      = %.*f\n", DBL_DECIMAL_DIG, cbrt(343));
    printf("pow(343,1.0/3) = %.*f\n", DBL_DECIMAL_DIG, pow(343, 1.0/3));
}

Possible output:

Normal use:
cbrt(729)      = 9.000000
cbrt(-0.125)   = -0.500000
Special values:
cbrt(-0)       = -0.000000
cbrt(+inf)     = inf
Accuracy:
cbrt(343)      = 7.00000000000000000
pow(343,1.0/3) = 6.99999999999999911
