How to find the cube root of negative values in R?

There is no function in R to find the cube root of negative values, hence we need to create that. The code to create the function is as shown below −
CubeRoot<-function(x){
   sign(x)*abs(x)^(1/3)
}
Now we just need to pass the values in the function to find the cube root of those values. These values can be a vector or a single value as well.
Examples of finding the cube roots using our function CubeRoot −
CubeRoot(-3)
