title: exponential 1/3 in Java
body: <p>Wondering what is the right way to represent <code>x^(1/3)</code>? Here is my code and it returns right value <code>2</code> for <code>8^(1/3)</code>. Wondering if any other better methods? </p>
  
  <pre><code>int a = 8;
  System.out.println(Math.pow(8, 1/3.0)); // returns 2
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>regards,
  Lin</p>
