nthroot (Matlab function)

Real nth root of real numbers

Matlab/Scilab equivalent

Matlab Scilab
nthroot
 
nthroot

Particular cases

nthroot(x,n)

If n is a scalar, Scilab "nthroot" is equivalent to Matlab "nthroot".

If n is not a scalar, Scilab "nthroot" calculates the elementwise real nth root. x and n must be the same size. Matlab "nthroot" does not.

Examples

Matlab Scilab
nthroot(5, 3)
nthroot(-5, 3)
nthroot([8 5], 3)
 
nthroot(5, 3)
nthroot(-5, 3)
nthroot([8 5], 3)
nthroot([8 243], [3 5])
