previous next AddThis Social Bookmark Button


Description:

This function returns the value of x**y.

Syntax:

import math

math.pow( x, y )

Note: This function is not accessible directly so we need to import math module and then we need to call this function using math static object.

Parameters:

Here is the detail of parameters:

  • x: This is a numeric expression.

  • y: This is also a numeric expression.

Return Value:

The value of x**y.

Example:

#!/usr/bin/python
import math   # This will import math module

print "math.pow(100, 2) : ", math.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)

This will produce following result:

math.pow(100, 2) :  10000.0
math.pow(100, -2) :  0.0001
math.pow(2, 4) :  16.0
math.pow(3, 0) :  1.0
