The **`pow()` function** computes a base number raised to the power of an exponent.

# Syntax
The `pow()` function takes two arguments, a *base* and an *exponent*. Both of these arguments have to be of type `double`.
```c++
double result = pow(base, exponent); 
```

# Code
The code below illustrates the use of the `pow()` function.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <bits/stdc++.h> 

int main() {
  cout<<"4 ^ 3 = "<< pow(4.0, 3.0)<<endl;
  cout<<"2.65 ^ 4.5 = "<< pow(2.65, 4.5)<<endl;
  return 0;
}

What is the pow() function in C++?

The pow() function computes a base number raised to the power of an exponent using double arguments.
