Root (√) (%: in J) is a dyadic scalar function that computes the nth root; X√Y is equal to Y*÷X, the right argument raised to the power of the reciprocal of the left argument. The positioning of arguments resembles the mathematical notation ![{\displaystyle {\sqrt[{x}]{y}}}](https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/media/math/render/svg/58c28156258e3c4cf15e8af14abcc0163150e3e6)
. Root shares the glyph √ with the monadic function Square Root, which is the same as Root with the default left argument of 2. Root is defined in J, NARS2000, dzaima/APL, and Extended Dyalog APL.
