Syntax

Math.Pow has the following syntax.

public static double Pow(
  double x,
  double y
)

Parameters

Math.Pow has the following parameters.

• x - A double-precision floating-point number to be raised to a power.
• y - A double-precision floating-point number that specifies a power.

Returns

Math.Pow method returns The number x raised to the power y.

Example

The following example uses the Pow method to calculate the value that results from raising 2 to a power ranging from 0 to 32.

using System;/*  w w  w  .  j  ava2 s.  c  om*/

public class Example
{
   public static void Main()
   {
      int value = 2;
      for (int power = 0; power <= 32; power++)
         Console.WriteLine("{0}^{1} = {2:N0} (0x{2:X})", 
                           value, power, (long)Math.Pow(value, power));
   }
}

The code above generates the following result.
