First root of a number

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hi,

I can't find any function in php to give me the first root of a number.
Is there any built-in function for it?

For example:
81 => 3
9 => 3
64 => 2
256 => 2

I wrote this function to get it, But it seems sqrt always return a float.

Code: <?php
function getRoot($num)
{
if (is_int(sqrt($num))) // (strpos(sqrt($num), '.'))
$num = sqrt($num);

return $num;
}
?>

Any idea?
