Description Usage Arguments Value Examples

This function raises a value x to a power a. It is useful for notational purposes, clearly separting the value and power from other aspects of an equation.

pow(x, a)

`x`	a numerical value.
`a`	the exponent.

Returns the result of raising x to the power a.

x = 2^4
y = pow( 2, 4 )
x == y

# Sometimes it can be hard to determine
# what is being raised to a power
x = 2 * 13 ^ 4 / 8
# This function makes it easier to tell
x = 2 * pow( 13, 4 ) / 8
