Specification

Math

\[\begin{array}{l} \\ {\left(x + 1\right)}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} - {x}^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)} \end{array} \]

FPCore

(FPCore (x n)
 :precision binary64
 (- (pow (+ x 1.0) (/ 1.0 n)) (pow x (/ 1.0 n))))

C

double code(double x, double n) {
	return pow((x + 1.0), (1.0 / n)) - pow(x, (1.0 / n));
}

Fortran

real(8) function code(x, n)
    real(8), intent (in) :: x
    real(8), intent (in) :: n
    code = ((x + 1.0d0) ** (1.0d0 / n)) - (x ** (1.0d0 / n))
end function

Java

public static double code(double x, double n) {
	return Math.pow((x + 1.0), (1.0 / n)) - Math.pow(x, (1.0 / n));
}

Python

def code(x, n):
	return math.pow((x + 1.0), (1.0 / n)) - math.pow(x, (1.0 / n))

Julia

function code(x, n)
	return Float64((Float64(x + 1.0) ^ Float64(1.0 / n)) - (x ^ Float64(1.0 / n)))
end

MATLAB

function tmp = code(x, n)
	tmp = ((x + 1.0) ^ (1.0 / n)) - (x ^ (1.0 / n));
end

Wolfram

code[x_, n_] := N[(N[Power[N[(x + 1.0), $MachinePrecision], N[(1.0 / n), $MachinePrecision]], $MachinePrecision] - N[Power[x, N[(1.0 / n), $MachinePrecision]], $MachinePrecision]), $MachinePrecision]
