Calculating nth root in Java using power method

Question

I was trying to get a cubic root in java using Math.pow(n, 1.0/3) but because it divides doubles, it doesn\'t return the exact answer. For example, with 125, this g

Answer 1

It's a pretty ugly hack, but you could reach a few of them through indenting.

System.out.println(Math.sqrt(Math.sqrt(256)));
    System.out.println(Math.pow(4, 4));
    System.out.println(Math.pow(4, 9));
    System.out.println(Math.cbrt(Math.cbrt(262144)));
Result:
4.0
256.0
262144.0 
4.0

Which will give you every n^3th cube and every n^2th root.
