Frequently Asked Questions
What is a perfect cube?
An integer that equals the cube of an integer. Examples: minus 8, minus 1, 0, 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729, 1000, ...
Can the cube be negative?
Yes. Unlike squares, cubes preserve sign: minus three to the cube is minus 27. Negative integers can be perfect cubes.
Why use BigInt for large n?
Floating-point cube root suffers rounding errors that can hide whether a number is exactly a cube. BigInt arithmetic with Newton iteration gives an exact integer cube root.
What are the perfect cubes from 1 to 1000?
They are 1, 8, 27, 64, 125, 216, 343, 512, 729, and 1000, the cubes of 1 through 10. Each is the volume of a cube whose edge is a whole number.
How do you know if a number is a perfect cube?
Take its cube root and check whether the result is a whole number: n is a perfect cube when there is an integer k with k³ = n. Unlike squares, cubes keep the sign of their root, so negative numbers like −27 = (−3)³ are perfect cubes too.
