Raise to power. The pow() function returns the result of the first argument raised to the power of the second argument. This function is defined in the cmath header file. pow() function is a library function of cmath header, it is used to find the raise to the power, it accepts two arguments and returns the first argument to the power of the second argument. power = base^exponent Base value Exponent value Additional overloads are provided in this header (<cmath>) for other combinations of arithmetic types (Type1 and Type2): These overloads effectively cast its arguments to double before calculations, except if at least one of the arguments is of type long double (in which case both are casted to long double instead). This function is also overloaded in <complex> and <valarray>. Function returns the result of raising base to the power exponent. If the base is finite negative and the exponent is finite but not an integer value, it causes a domain error. If both base and exponent are zero, it may also cause a domain error on certain implementations. If base is zero and exponent is negative, it may cause a domain error or a pole error (or none, depending on the library implementation). The function may also cause a range error if the result is too great or too small to be represented by a value of the return type.
