pow
fpow
NAME
pow - return one double to the power of another
fpow - return one float to the power of another
SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double a = pow(b, bp);
double bp;
double b;
float c = flog(d, dp);
float dp;
float d;
FUNCTION
Returns the power of one fp quantity to another.
EXAMPLE
/*
* compile with the math library -lm
*/
#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>
main()
{
{
double a = pow(0.25, 4.0);
printf("pow 0.25 ^^ 4.0 = %lfn", a); /* 0.0039 */
}
{ /* less accuracy */
float a = fpow(0.25, 4.0);
printf("pow 0.25 ^^ 4.0 = %lfn", (double)a);
}
return(0);
}
INPUTS
double b; double floating point value (base)
double bp; double floating point value (exponent)
float d; float floating point value (base)
float dp; float floating point value (exponent)
RESULTS
double a; result double floating point value
float c; result float floating point value
