Why doesn't Math.pow return me the correct value?

Question

I am trying to get the correct value for:

double poweredValue = Math.pow((1.1),(1 / 365));

Using my scientific calculator I get 1.0002611578760678121616866817054‬. But Math.pow returns a 1.

How do I get the full value returned?

1/365 is 0 (integer division). – Maroun Mar 15 '20 at 08:51 — Maroun, Mar 15 '20 at 08:51

double poweredValue = Math.pow((1.1),(1 / 365.0));
System.out.println(poweredValue);

Output - 1.0002611578760678
