Parameters:

• mantissa (Operand | int | float) –

  The base number to raise to a power.

  Supported types:

  • INTEGER

  • DECIMAL

  • INTEGER_ARRAY

  • DECIMAL_ARRAY

• exponent (Operand | int | float) –

  The exponent to which the mantissa is raised.

  Supported types:

  • INTEGER

  • DECIMAL

  • INTEGER_ARRAY

  • DECIMAL_ARRAY

Return type:

Formula

Returns:

The result of the exponentiation.

Supported types:

• INTEGER (if both inputs are integer types)

• DECIMAL (otherwise)

• INTEGER_ARRAY or DECIMAL_ARRAY (if either input is an array)
