For computing the arbitrary nth root of any number. I also go formatted some unrelated bits of code.
I implemented the shifting nth root algorithm in order to compute an nth root to an arbitrary precision. Other methods, such as Newton's method, are potentially faster but involve some amount of uncertainty as they only give an approximation, while shifting nth root gives the precise answer. Also, a slow method is better than no method :P
