real roots, powers

[Gergely CZUCZY]

hello

i've started using GMP for some arithmetic functions for an applications.
i'm mostly working with integer arithmetics.
my questions is, how can an integere number be raised to a not-integer power?
like n^x, where n is an integer, x is a real number, like 1.2 or 0.7
also, how can i get a real root of a number? root(n,x) where x is real, n is integer
(on real here, i mean floating-point numbers)

Bye,
