# Root

## Overview

![The Root Node.](/files/rMc6CLnHFqoiq7idfJsB)

**Root** calculates the *nth root* of a number, where *n* is called the *degree of the root*. This **Node** outputs the number which, when raised to the *nth power*, yields the *base* given as input.

The most common example of **Root** operations is finding the *square* (degree 2) root, or *cubic* (degree 3) *root* of a number. However, this can also be used for higher degrees.

| `Base` | `Degree` | `Output` |
| ------ | -------- | -------- |
| 9      | 2        | 3        |
| 13824  | 3        | 24       |
| 160000 | 4        | 20       |
| 1024   | 10       | 2        |

## Inputs

| Input             | Type      | Description                                                           |
| ----------------- | --------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse** | A standard input **Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**. |
| `Base`            | **Float** | The value you want to find the *nth root* of.                         |
| `Degree`          | **Float** | The degree of the root.                                               |

## Outputs

| ------------------ | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse** | A standard output **Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the **Logic Branch**, once this **Node** has finished its execution. |
| `Output`           | **Float** | The *nth root* (defined in `Degree`) of `Base`.                                                                                        |
