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 Get Logarithm Method.
Format
Math.pow(x, y)
The following table describes the arguments for the Raise Power method.
Argument | Description |
---|---|
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.");
}
