The pow method of the math module
The pow method of the math module returns a number raised to a power. In the first parameter of the method, we specify the number we need, in the second parameter - to what power we want to raise it. Unlike the ** operator, the method always returns a real number.
Syntax
pythonimport math
math.pow(number, degree)
Example
Let's square the number 3:
pythonimport math
print(math.pow(3, 2))
Result of code execution:
python9.0
Example
Now let's raise the number to a negative power:
pythonimport math
print(math.pow(3, -2))
Result of code execution:
python0.1111111111111111
Example
Let's use the pow method to cube a negative number:
pythonimport math
print(math.pow(-3, 3))
Result of code execution:
python-27.0
