POW
(Function)

Obtains an exponent.

POW (<Base>,<Exponent>)

This statement obtains the exponent of the value designated in <Base>of <Exponent>.
If <Base> or <Exponent> includes a double precision real numeral, the obtained value becomes double precision. Otherwise, a single precision value is obtained.

In an exponential calculation, a domain error occurs if the first argument is negative.
If <Base> and <Exponent> include a double precision real numeral, the precision is guaranteed up to 15 digits.
If <Base> and <Exponent> do not include a double precision real numeral, the precision is guaranteed only up to 7 digits.
