• n: The argument n is an expression that resolves to a number.
• return type:
  • Returns the same type as the argument n.
  • Returns a NULL value in the following cases:
    • n resolves to a NULL value
    • n does not resolve to a number
  • Returns NaN if n resolves to NaN.
  • Returns a positive/negative infinity if n resolves to the respective infinity.
  • Returns a positive/negative zero if n resolves to the respective zero value.
