find the nth root of a number in javascript

To find the nth root of a number in JavaScript, you can use the ** operator in combination with the Math.pow() function. The ** operator raises a number to a certain power, while the Math.pow() function is specifically designed to raise a number to any power, including a non-integer value like 1/n.

Here is an example function that takes two arguments: the number you want to find the nth root of, and the value of n. It returns the nth root of the number:

index.tsx
function nthRoot(number, n) {
  return Math.pow(number, 1/n);
}
64 chars
4 lines

You can call the function like this:

index.tsx
// find the 3rd root of 125 (should equal 5)
const result = nthRoot(125, 3);
console.log(result); // output: 5
111 chars
4 lines

This code uses Math.pow() to raise the number to the power of 1/n, effectively finding the nth root of the number.
