POWER(n,p)
- is the base value
- is the power value
is the base value
is the power value
Description
- This function gives the value of a number raised to a power.
- The power of a number indicating how many times we have to multiply the number.
- For e.g POWER(4,3)=4*4*4=63.
- In is the base value.It can be any '+' or '-'.
- is the power (exponent) value to which the n is raised.
- Power is also called Exponents or Indices.
- Anything raised to the power 0 is equal to 1.i.e.,POWER(7,0)=1.
- We can use the "^" operator instead of POWER function.
is the base value.It can be any '+' or '-'.Examples
