JS: Power and Roots

Power and Roots

Math.pow(x, y)

• x raised to the power of y.
• Same as x ** y.

console.log(Math.pow(2, 3));
// 8

console.log(2 ** 3);
// 8

Math.sqrt(x)

Square root.

console.log(Math.sqrt(4));
// 2

console.log(Math.sqrt(9));
// 3

Math.cbrt(x)

(new in ECMAScript 2015)

Cube root.

console.log(Math.cbrt(8));
// 2

console.log(Math.cbrt(27));
// 3

To compute nth root, use Math.pow(x, 1/n).
