Root

Overview

The Root Node.

Root calculates the nth root of a number, where n is called the degree of the root. This Node outputs the number which, when raised to the nth power, yields the base given as input.

The most common example of Root operations is finding the square (degree 2) root, or cubic (degree 3) root of a number. However, this can also be used for higher degrees.

Base	Degree	Output
9	2	3
13824	3	24
160000	4	20
1024	10	2

Scope: Project, Scene, Function, Prefab.
