Summary

Function: float llPow( float base, float exponent );

Returns a float that is base raised to the power exponent (baseexponent)

• float base
• float exponent

Triggers a Math Error for imaginary results ((exponent != (integer)exponent) && (base < 0.0)) when not compiled in mono Returns NaN when compiled in mono without crash
