Radical

public final class Radical: Codable

A radical expression. Radical expressions are simplified by calling the objects simplify() method.

Usage

Create a new expression using integers with

The cube root of 27:

let expression = Radical(root: 27, index: 3)

Example

The square root of 27:

let expression = Radical(root: 27)
print("Your expression is \(expression.radicand) square roots of \(expression.coefficient)")
// => Your expression is 1 square roots of 27 (root 27)
expression.simplify()
print("Your expression is \(expression.radicand) square roots of \(expression.coefficient)")
// => Your expression is 3 square roots of 3 (root 27)

Imaginary Numbers

simplify() will do nothing if simplification results in an imaginary number.

index
The index of the radical expression Square root, cube root, etc.
Declaration
Swift

public var index: Int
radicand
The number inside the root sign
Declaration
Swift

public var radicand: Int
coefficient
The number outside the root sign
Declaration
Swift

public var coefficient: Int = 1


                    
                    
                    init(root:index:)

Create a new radical expression using only integers.
