What is the meaning of pow()?

Question

pow(27,1/3)

Answer 1

The pow() method returns x to the power of y, where x(is the base) and y(is the exponent) should be non-negative integers. The pow() method simply means x**y
Taking the given example, pow(27,1/3) : The result will be 3.0 as you are multiplying the base 27, one third times (or simply calculates the cube root).

Answer 2

You need to import math to use pow().

Answer 3

power_function = pow(num, power)

Answer 4

pow(a,b) is a function that can be imported from libaray- math.
Synatx for importing math library is:
In python: import math
In C and CPP: #include<math.h>

pow (a,b) means "a raised to the power of b"

So, pow (27,1/3) is nothing but 27^(1/3)=3.
