pow(x,y);

Computes x raised to the power y. An error occurs if x is zero and y is less than or equal to 0, or if x is negative and y has a fractional part. Note that x*x is the same, but is computed faster than pow(x,2) .

Parameters:

x - any number.
y - exponent

Returns:

x^ y

Speed:

Fast

Example:

x = pow(100,1); // x is now 100 
x = pow(2,8); // x is now 256 
x = pow(1.414,2); // x is now 1.999
