llPow

float llPow(float Value, float Exponent)

Returns the Value raised to the power Exponent, or returns 0 and triggers Math Error for imaginary results.

Returns the Value raised to the Exponent.

Parameters

Value (float)
Exponent (float)

Technical Details

Return Type: float
Energy: 10

default {
    state_entry() {
        llOwnerSay("llPow(5, .5) (" + (string)llPow(5, .5) + ") is equal to llSqrt(5) ("
                    + (string)llSqrt(5) + ").");
    }
}

Caveats

If exponent is a static integer and not a variable, llPow is dramatically slower than simple repeated multiplication. For example, it’s much faster to use val = base*base*base instead of val = llPow(base, 3).
Triggers a Math Error for imaginary results if not compiled in Mono.
