ADD FOURTH ROOT

[shazzadur2010]

I AM SICK OF NO FOURTH ROOT

ADD A FOURTH ROOT BUTTON

MAKE MINDS SMARTER

MORE MATHEMATICIANS IN THE FUTURE

I AM NOT MAKING PEOPLE DUMBER

SO TO PUT THE FOURTH ROOT IN A QUESTION OR GRAPH CLICK THE FOURTH ROOT BUTTON SO IT WILL BE IN THE SCIENTIFIC AND GRAPHING CALCULATOR

ADD FOURTH ROOT BUTTON RIGHT NOW IN AN UPDATE

If possible, I would like to implement this.
I'm just suggesting this idea. I don't want to implement it.

did 1 worker implement the feature?

Try 16 ^ (1 / 4).

A number to the power of 1/n is the same as the nth root of that number. While calculator doesn't allow to calculate nth root, it allows raising numbers to any power

If the underlying functionality is there, then it should be little problem to accept input from the UI of an xth root of y button, as a convenience, and simply run it internally as y ^ 1/x. It's cumbersome, tedious, and confusing, to always use the x^y function and add the extra parenthesis. Using the logic, we need no subtraction, multiplication, division functions, as these can all be achieved using addition. Subtraction is just addition of negative numbers. So yes, while x^y can be used with y swapped to 1/x and x swapped to y for the xth root of y functionality, there's little reason not to add the function. Even my pocket calculators from the 1980s and 1990s had that feature.
