Thread: Finding the cube root of a number.

Code:

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

main()
{
    float a,b;
    
    printf("Enter a number : ");
    scanf("%d",&a);
    
    b = pow(a,(1/3));
    
    printf("The cube root of a given number is : %f",b);
}

If cube root of a number is equal to raised to the power of 1/3. Then why is the program not finding the root and displaying it.

It is displaying zero.

No the user is asked to input the value of a so that value of b can determined. b is the cube root of a. Then how can be scanf wrong. According to your scanf what is the value of a.

scanf("%f", &a);
