Stream: Is there code for X?
Topic: Tried to find something like 'iroot'

I tried to find something like "integer root" in Lean and Mathlib, but didn't have any success.
There isn't anything like that, right?

That's, like, n-th root of natural number x truncated down to the closest natural number with a boolean that's true if the root is exactly a natural number (the case of x being perfect n-th power).

docs#Nat.nthRoot ?
(it doesn't return whether it is exactly the root though)
Aaron Liu (Dec 26 2025 at 23:46):
you can test whether it's the nth root exactly by raising it to the nth power

Thank you both. :heart:

For some reason I didn't find it, that probably means my loogle-fu is bad.
