pow Function (ROM Call 0x103*)

math.h, timath.h

float pow (float x, float y);

Floating point power function.

pow returns x^y, x to the y (i.e. x raised to the y-th power).

Note: pow will return an infinite result (see POSITIVE_INF, NEGATIVE_INF, UNSIGNED_INF) in a case of overflow. If both x and y are zeros, pow will return 1. If x is negative, the correct result will be produced only if y can be represented as a whole number, or as a fraction with odd denominator; otherwise, pow will return a garbage (not NAN) which sometimes even not satisfy the floating point BCD format (digits greater than 9 etc.), so be careful in a case when x is negative!
