Root

Overview

Root calculates the nth root of a number. The nth root (Output) of a number is the base value, which when raised to the power of n (Degree) would return the radicand (Input).

The most common example of Root operations, is finding the square (2nd) root, or cubic (3rd) root of a number, however this can also be used for higher numbers.

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

Exponentiation-Related Nodes

The Power, nth Root, and Logarithm Nodes each relate to exponentiation. They all take two known parameters and return the 3rd unknown Value.

Attributes

The Root Node has no Attributes.

Inputs

Input	Type	Description
Pulse Input (►)	Pulse	A standard Input Pulse, to trigger the execution of the Node.
Input	Float	The Value which you want to find the nth root of.
Root	Float	The degree of the exponentiation (the "n" in "nth root").

Outputs

Output	Type	Description
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 base number which, when multiplied against itself the number of times defined in Root, would return the Value of Input.
