# pow

(PHP 3, PHP 4 , PHP 5)

pow -- Exponential expression

## Description

number pow ( number base, number exp )

Returns base raised to the power of exp. If possible, this function will return an integer.

If the power cannot be computed, a warning will be issued, and pow() will return `FALSE`. Since PHP 4.2.0 pow() doesn't issue any warning.

> Замечание: PHP cannot handle negative bases.

Пример 1. Some examples of pow()
`<?php var_dump(pow(2, 8)); // int(256) echo pow(-1, 20); // 1 echo pow(0, 0); // 1 echo pow(-1, 5.5); // error ?>`

Внимание
In PHP 4.0.6 and earlier pow() always returned a float, and did not issue warnings.
