Nth root

You are given positive numbers $N and $k. Write a script to find out the $Nth root of $k. For more information, please take a look at the Wikipedia page.

Examples

Example 1
Input: $N = 5, $k = 248832
Output: 12

Example 2
Input: $N = 5, $k = 34
Output: 2.02

Analysis

Why mess around? The easy method, mentioned on the Wiki page, is:

   ___
$k√ $N = e * ln($k / $N)

The Perl log function gives the log to the base e, where e - Euler's Number - is about 2.7182818284.
