Description

gmp_pow(GMP|int|string $num, int $exponent): GMP

Raise num into power exponent.

Parameters

The base number.

Return Values

The new (raised) number, as a GMP number. The case of 0^0 yields 1.

$pow2 = gmp_pow("0", 0);
echo gmp_strval($pow2) . "\n";
$pow3 = gmp_pow("2", -1); / Negative exp, generates warning
echo gmp_strval($pow3) . "\n";
