Syntax:

double pow(double x, double y)

Parameter Values

Parameter	Description
x	It is the floating point base value.
y	It is the floating point power value.

Here is an example of pow() function:


#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>
int main () 
{
printf("Value 8.0 ^ 3 = %lf\n", pow(8.0, 3));
return(0);
}

Output:
Value 8.0 ^ 3 = 512.000000
