Raise Power Method
The Raise Power method raises the value that the x argument contains to the power of the value that the y argument contains. It returns the result in the x argument. For more information, see Using the Get Logarithm Method and Raise Power Method with Large Numbers. Format
Math.pow(x, y)
Table 115 describes the arguments for the Raise Power method.
Table 115. Arguments of the Raise Power Method
|
|
x |
The number that this method raises. |
y |
The power to which this method raises the value that the x argument contains. |
Example
This example uses the Raise Power method to determine which of the following numbers is larger:
- 99^100 (99 to the 100th power)
- 100^99 (100 to the 99th power):
function Test_Click () { var a = Math.pow(99, 100); var b = Math.pow(100, 99); if ( a > b ) TheApplication().RaiseErrorText("99^100 is greater than 100^99."); else TheApplication().RaiseErrorText("99^100 is not greater than 100^99."); }
