GDScript has a function for square roots and cubed roots. But how, in GDScript would you figure out 4√x or 5√x ?

This should work although n and s would have to be floats not integers

func root(n, s):
    print(pow(n, (1/s)))

I think you'll get more expected results if you force float division. Just this should work...

pow(n, 1.0/s)

Yes good point! I should have thought of that!
