Math
Pow
Rotation
The Pow node takes in a base number and a power to raise the base to, then returns the result.
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:
NorPowerisNaN: alwaysNaNPowerisInfinity-1 < N < 1:0N == 1:1N == -1:NaNInfinityotherwise.
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."
