Python3 pow() Function
Python3 NumbersDescription
pow()The method returns xy(the value of x raised to the power of y).
Syntax
The following is the syntax of the pow() method in the math module:
import math math.pow( x, y )
Built-in pow() method
pow(x, y[, z])
The function calculates x raised to the power of y. If z is present, it then takes the modulus of the result, which is equivalent to pow(x, y) % z.
Note:pow() can be called directly through the built-in method, which treats parameters as integers, while the math module converts parameters to floats.
Parameters
- x -- A numeric expression.
- y -- A numeric expression.
- z -- A numeric expression.
Return Value
Returns xy(the value of x raised to the power of y).Example
The following demonstrates an example of using the pow() method:
Example
#!/usr/bin/python3
import math # Import the math module
print ("math.pow(100, 2) : ", math.pow(100, 2))
# Use the built-in method to see the difference in output results
print ("pow(100, 2) : ", pow(100, 2))
print ("math.pow(100, -2) : ", math.pow(100, -2))
print ("math.pow(2, 4) : ", math.pow(2, 4))
print ("math.pow(3, 0) : ", math.pow(3, 0))
import math # Import the math module
print ("math.pow(100, 2) : ", math.pow(100, 2))
# Use the built-in method to see the difference in output results
print ("pow(100, 2) : ", pow(100, 2))
print ("math.pow(100, -2) : ", math.pow(100, -2))
print ("math.pow(2, 4) : ", math.pow(2, 4))
print ("math.pow(3, 0) : ", math.pow(3, 0))
After running the above example, the output result is:
math.pow(100, 2) : 10000.0 pow(100, 2) : 10000 math.pow(100, -2) : 0.0001 math.pow(2, 4) : 16.0 math.pow(3, 0) : 1.0Other Extensions
