Summary
Function: float llPow( float base, float exponent );| 0.0 | Forced Delay |
| 10.0 | Energy |
Returns a float that is base raised to the power exponent (baseexponent)
| • float | base | |||
| • float | exponent |
Returns NaN when base is negative and exponent is not an integer (an imaginary result, (exponent != (integer)exponent) && (base < 0.0)).
Caveats
- If exponent is a static integer and not a variable, llPow is dramatically slower than simple repeated multiplication, i.e. it's much faster to do
val = base*base*baseinstead ofval = llPow(base, 3). - Triggers a Math Error for imaginary results if not compiled in Mono.
Examples
default {
state_entry() {
llOwnerSay("llPow(5, .5) (" + (string)llPow(5, .5) + ") is equal to llSqrt(5) ("
+ (string)llSqrt(5) + ").");
}
}
