Description pow()
Python pow()
The pow() method returns x to the power of y. If the third argument (z) is given, it returns x to the power of y modulus z, i.e. pow(x, y) % z.
The syntax of pow() method is:
pow(x, y[, z])The pow(x, y) is equivalent to:
x**y
pow() Parameters
The pow() method takes three parameters:
• x - number which is to be powered
• y - number which is to be powered with x
• z (Optional) - number which is to be used for modulus operation
| x | y | z | 
|---|---|---|
| Non-negative Integer OR Negative Integer | Non-negative Integer | May or may not be present | 
| Non-negative Integer OR Negative Integer | Negative Integer | Should not be present | 
Return value from pow()
The pow() method's return value depends upon the type of arguments passed.
| x | y | z | Return Value | 
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-negative Integer | Non-negative Integer | N/A | Integer | 
| Non-negative Integer | Negative Integer | N/A | Float | 
| Negative Integer | Non-negative Integer | N/A | Integer | 
| Negative Integer | Negative Integer | N/A | Integer | 
| Non-negative Integer OR Negative integer | Non-negative Integer | Non-negative Integer OR Positive Integer | Integer | 
Example 1: How pow() works in Python?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# positive x, positive y (x**y)
print(pow(2, 2))
# negative x, positive y
print(pow(-2, 2))
# positive x, negative y (x**-y)
print(pow(2, -2))
# negative x, negative y
print(pow(-2, -2))
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you run the program, the output will be:
4
4
0.25
0.25
Example 2: pow() with three arguments (x**y) % z
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
x = 7
y = 2
z = 5
print(pow(x, y, z))
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When you run the program, the output will be:
4
Here, 7 is powered by 2 (7**2) which equals 49. Then, 49 modulus 5 (49 % 5) equals 4.
