Problem Statement

You are given two positive integers N and M. You have to return the Nth root of M, i.e., M^(1/N). If the Nth root is not an integer, return -1.

Note:

N'th root of an integer M is a number, which, when raised to the power N, gives M as a result.

Detailed explanation ( Input/output format, Notes, Images )

Input Format:

The first line of the input consists of two space-separated integers, N and M.

Output Format:

Return an integer that denotes the Nth root of M in a separate line.

Note:

You don't have to print anything. It has already been taken care of. Just Implement the given function.

Constraints:

1 <= N <= 30
1 <= M <= 10^9

Time Limit: 1 sec.

Sample Input 1:

3 27

Sample Output 1:

Explanation For Sample Input 1:

3rd Root of 27 is 3, as (3)^3 equals 27.

Sample Input 2:

4 69

Sample Output 2:

-1

Explanation For Sample Input 2:

4th Root of 69 is not an integer, hence -1.
