Re: [EquisMetaStock Group] how to calculates the nth root of a number



PureBytes Links

finding the nth root of a number is the same (for these purposes
anyway) as raising the number to the inverse of the root.

e.g.
2nd root of 9: 9 ^ (1/2) = 3
3rd root of 27: 27 ^ (1/3) = 3
4th root of 81: 81 ^ (1/4) = 3
etc

so in MetaStock, use the power function...

power(9,1/2);
power(27,1/3);
power(81,1/4);
