The function POWER takes two Numbers, b and n, and returns bⁿ.

This function takes two Numbers as input: b and n. It returns another Number: the numerical estimation of b taken to the power of n.

Declaration

POWER(b, n) -> number

Parameters

b (required, type: Number)
Any Number; this is the base number that will be taken to the power of n.

n (required, type: Number)
Any Number; this is what b will be taken to the power of.

Return Values

number (type: Number)

Examples

The following example calculates 2³:

POWER(2, 3) -> 8
