Pow

Rotation

The Pow node takes in a base number and a power to raise the base to, then returns the result.

For quick and easy nodes that can square and cube, there are the Value Square and Value Cube nodes.

Inputs

N (Pseudo-generic)

The base number for this node.

Power (Pseudo-generic)

The exponent (or power) for this node.

Outputs

* (Pseudo-generic)

Returns the result of the base raised to the power.

The following special cases are of note, in order of precedence:

N or Power is NaN: always NaN
Power is Infinity
- -1 < N < 1: 0
- N == 1: 1
- N == -1: NaN
- Infinity otherwise.
N < 0 && Power < 0 && Power is not an integer: NaN

Examples

Suppose we have the base number 3 and an exponent of 4. This is written as 3⁴.
To calculate 3⁴:
3⁴ = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 = 81
In this example:

   The base is 3.
   The exponent is 4.
   3⁴ is read as "three to the power of four" or "three raised to the fourth power."
