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)
The numerical estimation of b raised to the nth power, or bn.
Examples
The following example calculates 23:
POWER(2, 3) -> 8
