std.math.pow - multiple declarations

Function pow

Compute the value of x n, where n is an integer

Unqual!F pow(F, G) (
  F x,
  G n
) pure nothrow @nogc @trusted
if (isFloatingPoint!F && isIntegral!G);

Example

writeln(pow(2.0, 5)); // 32.0
assert(pow(1.5, 9).feqrel(38.4433) > 16);
assert(pow(real.nan, 2) is real.nan);
writeln(pow(real.infinity, 2)); // real.infinity

Function pow

Compute the value of an integer x, raised to the power of a positive integer n.

typeof(Unqual!F.init*Unqual!G.init) pow(F, G) (
  F x,
  G n
) pure nothrow @nogc @trusted
if (isIntegral!F && isIntegral!G);

If both x and n are 0, the result is 1. If n is negative, an integer divide error will occur at runtime, regardless of the value of x.

Example

immutable int one = 1;
immutable byte two = 2;
immutable ubyte three = 3;
immutable short four = 4;
immutable long ten = 10;

writeln(pow(two, three)); // 8
writeln(pow(two, ten)); // 1024
writeln(pow(one, ten)); // 1
writeln(pow(ten, four)); // 10_000
writeln(pow(four, 10)); // 1_048_576
writeln(pow(three, four)); // 81

Function pow

Computes integer to floating point powers.

real pow(I, F) (
  I x,
  F y
) pure nothrow @nogc @trusted
if (isIntegral!I && isFloatingPoint!F);

Example

writeln(pow(2, 5.0)); // 32.0
writeln(pow(7, 3.0)); // 343.0
assert(pow(2, real.nan) is real.nan);
writeln(pow(2, real.infinity)); // real.infinity

Function pow

Calculates xy.

Unqual!(Largest!(F,G)) pow(F, G) (
  F x,
  G y
) pure nothrow @nogc @trusted
if (isFloatingPoint!F && isFloatingPoint!G);
