Calculates the value of a number raised to a power. pow() can be used to raise a number to a fractional power. This is useful for generating exponential mapping of values or curves.

pow(base, exponent)

base: the number. Allowed data types: float.
exponent: the power to which the base is raised. Allowed data types: float.

The result of the exponentiation. Data type: double.

Calculate the value of x raised to the power of y:
