Root

Overview

Root calculates the nth root of a number. This is effectively the reversal of the Power operation, meaning that instead of multiplying a base by itself, multiple times, it calculates what the base number is, based on how many times it was multiplied by itself.

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 numbers.

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