I did a lot of that proof type testing with my original string +-*/ routines. It's a time saver.
I'll have a look see tonight. Interested in trying a log method. It would be great to have a string method of squares and powers that could handle something like: 104729 root 8 = 1.0000198556 according to an online nth root calculator. Obviously needs more precision but powering it back gets fairly close to 8. This takes just a second on an online nth root calculator, and the radicand is a PRIME number, so no factoring is involved. Log method, maybe?

Shoot first and shoot people who ask questions, later.
