NAME


       pow, powf, powl - power functions

 

SYNOPSIS


       #include 

       double pow(double x, double y);
       float powf(float x, float y);
       long double powl(long double x, long double y);

       Link with -lm.

 

DESCRIPTION






       The pow() function returns the value of x raised to the power of y.

 

ERRORS


       EDOM   The argument x is negative and y is not an integral value.  This
              would result in a complex number.
