`x` | Number | BigNumber | Boolean | Complex | Array | Matrix | null | Number for which to calculate the cube

### Returns

Type | Description
---- | -----------
Number | BigNumber | Complex | Array | Matrix | 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
