## Parameters:

Here is the detail of parameters:

- A primitive data types

## Return Value :

- Returns the value of the first argument raised to the power of the second argument.

## Example:

    public class Test{
       public static void main(String args[]){
          double x = 11.635;
          double y = 2.76;

          System.out.printf("The value of e is %.4f%n", Math.E);
          System.out.printf("pow(%.3f, %.3f) is %.3f%n",
                                             x, y, Math.pow(x, y));

       }
