pow: Take a vector to arbitrary power
In HScheiber/powers: Simple computation of powers

Description Usage Arguments Details Value See Also

Internal function used by the powers library. Takes vector to an arbitrary power, and may plot the function if indicated.

1	pow(x, a, plot_it, returnVal, returnPlot)

`x`	The vector to be exponentiated.
`a`	The exponent.
`plot_it`	A logical. If `TRUE` then a plot of the power function is created.
`returnVal`	A logical. If `TRUE` then the squared values are returned. Generally `TRUE` by default for functions that depend on this one.
`returnPlot`	A logical. If `TRUE` then the generated plot is returned as an object. If both `returnVal` and `returnPlot` are `TRUE` then the output is a list containing both.

This function is for internal use only. Other functions in the powers library depend on this.

In the case of a numerical input, a vector that is the a-th exponent of x is returned. For strings, the input string is repeated code|a| times. If a is negative, the order of the input string x is also reversed.
