DESCRIPTION

These functions return the (real) cube root of x. This function cannot fail; every representable real value has a representable real cube root.

RETURN VALUE

These functions return the cube root of x.
If x is +0, -0, positive infinity, negative infinity, or NaN, x is returned.

ERRORS

No errors occur.
