math.pow() function
The math.pow() function returns x**y, the base-x exponential of y.
Output data type: Float
import "math"
math.pow(x: 2.0, y: 3.0)
// Returns 8.0
Parameters
x
The X value used in the operation.
y
The Y value used in the operation.
Special cases
// In order of priority
math.pow(x:x, y:±0) // Returns 1 for any x
math.pow(x:1, y:y) // Returns 1 for any y
math.pow(x:X, y:1) // Returns x for any x
math.pow(x:NaN, y:y) // Returns NaN
math.pow(x:x, y:NaN) // Returns NaN
math.pow(x:±0, y:y) // Returns ±Inf for y an odd integer < 0
math.pow(x:±0, y:-Inf) // Returns +Inf
math.pow(x:±0, y:+Inf) // Returns +0
math.pow(x:±0, y:y) // Returns +Inf for finite y < 0 and not an odd integer
math.pow(x:±0, y:y) // Returns ±0 for y an odd integer > 0
math.pow(x:±0, y:y) // Returns +0 for finite y > 0 and not an odd integer
math.pow(x:-1, y:±Inf) // Returns 1
math.pow(x:x, y:+Inf) // Returns +Inf for |x| > 1
math.pow(x:x, y:-Inf) // Returns +0 for |x| > 1
math.pow(x:x, y:+Inf) // Returns +0 for |x| < 1
math.pow(x:x, y:-Inf) // Returns +Inf for |x| < 1
math.pow(x:+Inf, y:y) // Returns +Inf for y > 0
math.pow(x:+Inf, y:y) // Returns +0 for y < 0
math.pow(x:-Inf, y:y) // Returns math.pow(-0, -y)
math.pow(x:x, y:y) // Returns NaN for finite x < 0 and finite non-integer y
