Roots

[psduckie]

I am developing a new program using Visual C# 2005 Express Edition Beta 1.
One of the functions is as follows:

public decimal Root(decimal Number, ulong Root)
{
// If n = Root, calculate the nth root of Number here
}

What do I use to replace the comment in the above function?

Uh... this wouldn't happen to be a homework assignment, would it?

public decimal Root(decimal Number,ulong Root)
{
//the type "decimal" and "ulong" made me uncomfortable
return (decimal)Math.P ow((double)Numb er,1/(double)Root);
}
