pow(num, exponent)
Facilitates exponential expressions. The pow()
function is an efficient way of multiplying numbers by themselves (or their reciprocal) in large quantities. For example, pow(3, 5)
is equivalent to the expression 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3
and pow(3, -5)
is equivalent to 1 / 3 * 3 * 3 * 3 * 3
.
