# Cube Root

> Compute the [cube root][cube-root] of a double-precision floating-point number.

<section class="usage">

## Usage

```javascript
var cbrt = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/cbrt' );
```

#### cbrt( x )

Computes the [cube root][cube-root] of a double-precision floating-point number.

```javascript
var v = cbrt( 64.0 );
// returns 4.0

v = cbrt( 27.0 );
// returns 3.0

v = cbrt( 0.0 );
// returns 0.0

v = cbrt( -0.0 );
// returns -0.0

v = cbrt( -9.0 );
// returns ~-2.08

v = cbrt( NaN );
// returns NaN
```

</section>

<!-- /.usage -->

<section class="examples">

## Examples

<!-- eslint no-undef: "error" -->

```javascript
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var cbrt = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/cbrt' );

var x;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 100; i++ ) {
    x = (randu()*200.0) - 100.0;
    console.log( 'cbrt(%d) = %d', x, cbrt( x ) );

```

#### stdlib_base_cbrt( x )

Computes the cube root of a double-precision floating-point number.

```c
double y = stdlib_base_cbrt( 27.0 );
// returns 3.0
```

The function accepts the following arguments:

-   **x**: `[in] double` input value.
