YouTipPython3 Func Number Pow
# Python3.x Python3 pow() Function
[ Python3 Numbers](#)
* * *
## Description
The **pow()** method returns the value of x y (x raised to the power y).
* * *
## Syntax
Here is the syntax for the pow() method in the math module:
import math math.pow( x, y )
The built-in pow() method
pow(x, y[, z])
The function calculates x raised to the power y. If z is present, it then performs a modulo operation on the result, which is equivalent to pow(x,y) % z.
**Note:** pow() is called directly via the built-in method, which treats arguments as integers, while the math module converts arguments to float.

## Parameters
* x -- A numeric expression.
* y -- A numeric expression.
* z -- A numeric expression.
* * *
## Return Value
Returns the value of x y (x raised to the power y).
* * *
## Example
The following examples demonstrate the use of the pow() method:
## Example
#!/usr/bin/python3
import math # Import the math module
print("math.pow(100, 2) : ", math.pow(100, 2))
# Using the built-in function to see the difference in output
print("pow(100, 2) : ", pow(100, 2))
print("math.pow(100, -2) : ", math.pow(100, -2))
print("math.pow(2, 4) : ", math.pow(2, 4))
print("math.pow(3, 0) : ", math.pow(3, 0))
The output of the above example is:
math.pow(100, 2) : 10000.0 pow(100, 2) : 10000 math.pow(100, -2) : 0.0001 math.pow(2, 4) : 16.0 math.pow(3, 0) : 1.0
