pow
Evaluates the complex number obtained by raising a base that is a complex number to the power of another complex number.
template<class Type>
complex<Type> pow(
const complex<Type>& _Base,
int _Power
);
template<class Type>
complex<Type> pow(
const complex<Type>& _Base,
const Type& _Power
);
template<class Type>
complex<Type> pow(
const complex<Type>& _Base,
const complex<Type>& _Power
);
template<class Type>
complex<Type> pow(
const Type& _Base,
const complex<Type>& _Power
);
Parameters
_Base
The complex number or number that is of the parameter type for the complex number that is the base to be raised to a power by the member function._Power
The integer or complex number or number that is of the parameter type for the complex number that is the power that the base is to be raised to by the member function.
Return Value
The complex number obtained by raising the specified base to the specified power.
Remarks
The functions each effectively convert both operands to the return type, and then return the converted left to the power right.
The branch cut is along the negative real axis.
