Description

The method returns the value of the first argument raised to the power of the second argument.

Syntax

double pow(double base, double exponent)

Parameters

Here is the detail of parameters −

• base − Any primitive data type.

• exponenet − Any primitive data type.

Return Value

• This method 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));
   }
}

This will produce the following result −

Output

The value of e is 2.7183
pow(11.635, 2.760) is 874.008
