{{InteractiveExample("JavaScript Demo: Math.cbrt()")}}
```js interactive-example
console.log(Math.cbrt(-1));
// Expected output: -1
console.log(Math.cbrt(1));
// Expected output: 1
console.log(Math.cbrt(Infinity));
// Expected output: Infinity
console.log(Math.cbrt(64));
// Expected output: 4
```
## Syntax
```js-nolint
Math.cbrt(x)
```
### Parameters
- `x`
- : A number.
### Return value
The cube root of `x`.
## Description
Because `cbrt()` is a static method of `Math`, you always use it as `Math.cbrt()`, rather than as a method of a `Math` object you created (`Math` is not a constructor).
## Examples
### Using Math.cbrt()
```js
Math.cbrt(-Infinity); // -Infinity
Math.cbrt(-1); // -1
Math.cbrt(-0); // -0
Math.cbrt(0); // 0
Math.cbrt(1); // 1
Math.cbrt(2); // 1.2599210498948732
Math.cbrt(Infinity); // Infinity
```
