llPow

Summary

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

5	Function ID
0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

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

• 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*base instead of val = llPow(base, 3).
• Triggers a Math Error for imaginary results if not compiled in Mono.

          llOwnerSay("llPow(5, .5) (" + (string)llPow(5, .5) + ") is equal to llSqrt(5) (" 
                      + (string)llSqrt(5) + ").");
