math.pow()

Returns the float value of x raised to the power of y.

Syntax

math.pow(x, y)

This contrasts with the built-in ** operator in that math.pow() converts both its arguments to type float.

Example 1

Use math.pow() to return 5 to the power of 3:

import math

print(math.pow(5, 3))

The above code gives the following output:

125.0

Use math.pow() to return 5.5 to the power of 3.3:

import math

print(math.pow(5.5, 3.3))

The above code gives the following output:

277.457759723262
