Thread: pow()

can some one show me an example of the pow() function for linux and windows.. please i cant really understand it in the man page.. thanx

double pow(double x, double y);

it raises x to the y power

pow(2,10) == 1024.0
pow(2,0) == 1.0
pow(10,2) - 100.0 < 0.00001


the last one shows the problems of comparing floats.

ok but how would i enter that in to a code... that is what i mean.. sorry but i learn by example.. i know to know how the code is inputed so i know how to work with it.. thanx hope you understand

Code:

#include <math.h>

int main(void)
{
   double p;
   p = pow(10, 2);
   printf("pow(10,2) = %f\n", p);
   return 0;
}
