Math.Pow C# 负数

Question

In Excel when I type in:

=-4^(1/3)

It gives me

However when I do the same thing in C# it gives me Nan. How do I achieve the above in C#?

Answer 1

What Excel does is (-1)*(4^(1/3)). The NaN comes from the fact that the correct result is obviously a complex number, so you might want to look into C# complex type.

Answer 2

You can use double x =-1*(double)Math.Pow(4, (double)(1.0/3)) ; to get same results in csharp.
