## Syntax

```js
math.cube(x)
```

### Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description
--------- | ---- | -----------
`x` | number &#124; BigNumber &#124; Fraction &#124; Complex &#124; Array &#124; Matrix &#124; Unit | Number for which to calculate the cube

### Returns

Type | Description
---- | -----------
number &#124; BigNumber &#124; Fraction &#124; Complex &#124; Array &#124; Matrix &#124; Unit | Cube of x


## Examples

```js
math.cube(2)            // returns number 8
math.pow(2, 3)          // returns number 8
math.cube(4)            // returns number 64
4 * 4 * 4               // returns number 64

math.cube([1, 2, 3, 4]) // returns Array [1, 8, 27, 64]
```
