power - Raise a value to a given exponent

The power function simulates raising a number to the power of an exponent.

Syntax

Like many functions in DataPrime, power supports two notations, function and method notation. These interchangeable forms allow flexibility in how you structure expressions.

Function notation

power(number: number, exponent: number): number

Method notation

number: number.power(exponent: number): number

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Description
number	number	true	The number to raise to the `exponent`, otherwise known as the base
exponent	number	true	The exponent to which the base shall be raised, for example `2` is the equivalent of squaring our base

Example - Basic usage

If we have a numeric value, num and we wish to square it, we can do so with the following command:

Function notation

create num_squared from power(num, 2)

Method notation

create num_squared from num.power(2)

pi
