Python pow() Function

Python pow() Function

The pow() function in Python return the parameter ‘x’ to the power ‘y’ and if the parameter ‘z’ is present, it returns x to the power y, modulo z (computed more efficiently than pow(x, y) % z).

Syntax

pow(x, y[, z])

Parameter

x: This parameter represents the base number.

y: This parameter represents the exponent number

z: It is an optional parameter that represents the modulus.

Return

This function returns x to the power y; if z is present, return x to the power y, modulo z.

Example 1

# Python program explaining
# the pow() function
num = 1
for i in range(1,5):
    num=3*num
print ("The value of 3**4 is: ",end="")
print (num)
# representing the above with pow() class method
print("After calling the pow() method")
print ("The pow value of 3**4 is:",pow(3,4))

Output

The value of 3**4 is: 81
After calling the pow() method
The pow value of 3**4 is: 81
