• Introduced in version 1.3b36
Returns a
number raised to the power of 2, or raised to a specific exponent.Usage
power(num)power(num, exp)pow(num)pow(num, exp)Parameters
num- the base number used to perform the operation.exp- the exponent used in the operation.
Examples
Use
Returns:
pow() to raise 5 to the power of 2:
[r: power(5)]Returns: 25
Use pow() to raise 5 to the power of 3:
