std:: pow (std::valarray)

Raises a value to a power.

The behavior is undefined if base. size ( ) ! = exp. size ( ) .

Parameters

Return value

A numeric array containing the results of exponentiation.

Notes

Unqualified function ( pow ) is used to perform the computation. If such function is not available, std:: pow is used due to argument-dependent lookup .

The function can be implemented with the return type different from std::valarray . In this case, the replacement type has the following properties:

• All const member functions of std::valarray are provided.
• std::valarray , std::slice_array , std::gslice_array , std::mask_array and std::indirect_array can be constructed from the replacement type.
• For every function taking a const std:: valarray < T > & except begin() and end() (since C++11) , identical functions taking the replacement types shall be added;
• For every function taking two const std:: valarray < T > & arguments, identical functions taking every combination of const std:: valarray < T > & and replacement types shall be added.
• The return type does not add more than two levels of template nesting over the most deeply-nested argument type.
