Python pow() Built in Function
The pow() function is used to calculate the power of a number by raising the first argument to the second argument. The syntax of the pow() function is:
pow(x, y, z)
The x and y parameters are required and represent the base and the exponent respectively. The z parameter is optional and represents the modulus. If z is present, it returns x to the power of y, modulus z. Otherwise, it returns x to the power of y.
Here are some examples of using the pow() function in Python:
To calculate 4 to the power of 3 (same as 4 * 4 * 4):
print(pow(4, 3)) # prints 64
To calculate 2 to the power of 10 (same as 2 * 2 * … * 2):
print(pow(2, 10)) # prints 1024
To calculate 5 to the power of 2, modulus 7 (same as (5 * 5) % 7):
print(pow(5, 2, 7)) # prints 4
