I am trying for my program to get the 5th root of a number.

  • 0

I am trying for my program to get the 5th root of a number. I have used the Math.pow(a, b); method to get this, however it isn’t working for some reason.

Lets say I do something like double z = Math.pow(5, 5). I do a System.out on this once it gets the value and it will print a result of 3125. When I do z = Math.Pow(z, 1/5) afterwards on it and do a System.out, it doesn’t give me a result of 5, but rather 1. Can anyone explain to me why this is happening?

Thanks!

    try z = Math.Pow(z, 1.0/5)

    1/5 == 0 in java
