Thread: Fourth root program. Help plese?

Hello,
i am to write a table of square roots and forthr roots like see:

Integer Square root forth root

1 1.00000000 1.00000000
2 1.414213562 1.189207115
3 1.732050808 1.1316074013
4 2.000000000 1.414213562

Now! I am good so far with the square root but my forth root is not coming out right. It reads 2.65 something or another and i need some help please.


#include<stdio.h>
#include<math.h>

void prn_heading (void);
void prn_and_read_data (void);

int main()
{
prn_heading();
prn_and_read_data();
return 0;
}

void prn_heading(void)
{
printf("%3s%28s%28s%28s",
"Integer", "Square Root", "Fourth Root\n",
"--------------------------------------------------------------\n\n");
return;
}

void prn_and_read_data (void)
{
int x;
double square_root, fourth_root;

for (x = 1; x <= 100; ++x)
printf("%5d:%28.9e %28.9e\n", x = x, sqrt(x), square_root = pow(x, x));
fourth_root = square_root * square_root;
printf("%50.9e", fourth_root);
;
return;
}

I forgot!
I have alot of message boards i run and too many to keep track of whats going in and out. I am sure they'll send me a law suit sometime in the mail or they can just take a deep breath and relax. They can chaulk it up one for the home team, huh?
later

I am a rebel! A rebel without a cause! A rebel with no boundries to where he or she may be going!
Or i can just say i forgot and if they dont like OH Darn.

Hello,
Thanks for your help Mr. Clown Pimp!
Is there anyway to write it though to produce the same results... say using exponents
eg; say prints for int 2, 1.414213562e+00
I am curious since this program has really gotten me stumped here but thanks for your gracious knowledge.
later big pimppy!
