Function Documentation

powl()

long double powl	(	long double	base,
		long double	exponent
	)

Compute power.

The powl functions compute x raised to the power y. A domain error occurs if x is finite and negative and y is finite and not an integer value. A range error may occur. A domain error may occur if x is zero and y is zero. A domain error or pole error may occur if x is zero and y is less than zero.

Parameters

base	Base of power.
exponent	Exponent of power.

Returns

The powl functions return x^y.
