POWER (Number, Exponent) POWER (Number; Exponent)
Number
Number Number
The number to be raised.
Exponent
Number Number
The exponent to which the given number should be raised.
Returns
Number Number
The result.
Raises a number to the power of another number. POWER works identically to the ^ operator, meaning that POWER (2, 2) POWER (2; 2) and 2 ^ 22 ^ 2 both return 4.
Examples
POWER (2, 2)
POWER (2; 2)
Returns 2 raised to the power of 2, which equals 4.
POWER (2, { 2, 4, 8 })
POWER (2; { 2; 4; 8 })
Returns 2 raised to the power of 2, 4 and 8, in the form of the array { 4, 16, 256 }{ 4; 16; 256 }.
POWER ({ 2, 4, 8 }, 2)
POWER ({ 2; 4; 8 }; 2)
Returns 2, 4 and 8 raised to the power of 2, in the form of the array { 4, 16, 64 }{ 4; 16; 64 }.
POWER ({ 2, 4, 8 }, { 2, 4, 8 })
POWER ({ 2; 4; 8 }; { 2; 4; 8 })
Returns 2 raised to the power of 2, 4 raised to the power of 4 and 8 raised to the power of 8, in the form of the array { 4, 256, 16777216 }{ 4; 256; 16777216 }.
