om^

om^

(arithmetic module) -- raises a number to a given power

Syntax

om^ self num

Inputs

name data type(s) comments
self a number or tree  
num a number or tree  

Output

output data type(s) comments
first a number; a tree returns the first input’s number(s) raised to the power(s) of the second

Description

Raises self to the power num . The arguments need not be of the same type- a list may be raised to a single power or elements of a list may be raised to the powers indicated by the elements of another list. When the arguments are not of the same type, om^ pairs them up in the same manner as om/

Note

The name of the om^ function uses the carat (^) to represent raising a number to a power, as is traditional in programming languages.
