c++ pow() function

hi, i have been having this problem for quite a while now and i still haven't figure it out.
in c++, i tried to compute:

#include <math.h>

double temp = 2.0; // itried float type too
pow( temp, (1/3) );

it returns: 1
when it should really return 1.26
why is it happening?

You're 1/3 will be evaluated as an integer since both parts are integers. So 1/3 actually equals 0 and anything to the power 0 is 1.

Replacing it with 1.0/3.0 should make it work.
