root method

double root(
  1. dynamic n
)

Returns the n-th root of this as a double.

  • Usage: final n = 32.root(5);
  • Only supported for positive numbers.

Important: The dot operator has higher precedence than the minus sign.

Therefore: -32.root(5) == -(32.root(5)) == -2.

Whereas: (-32).root(5) throws an error of type ErrorOfType<InvalidFunctionParameter.

Implementation

double root(n) {
  if (isNegative) {
    throw ErrorOfType<InvalidFunctionParameter>(
      message: 'Can not calculate roots of negative numbers.',
      invalidState: '$this < 0',
    );
  }
  return math.exp(math.log(this) / n).toDouble();
}
