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.
Use the following function to raise a number to a given power:
pow(base, exponent)
The function admits the following parameters:
base: the function input number to compute. Allowed data types: float.exponent: the power to which the base is raised. Allowed data types: float.The function returns the result of the exponentiation. Data type: double.
Calculate the value of x raised to the power of y:
float x = 2.0; // base number
float y = 10.0; // exponent number
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
double z = pow(x, y);
Serial.print("The power result is: ");
Serial.println(z);
}
void loop() {
}
