bcpow
(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
bcpow — Raise an arbitrary precision number to another
Description
string bcpow ( string $base , string $exponent [, int $scale = 0 ] ) Raise base to the power exponent.
Parameters
base
The base, as a string.
exponent
The exponent, as a string. If the exponent is non-integral, it is truncated. The valid range of the exponent is platform specific, but is at least -2147483648 to 2147483647.
`scale` This optional parameter is used to set the number of digits after the decimal place in the result. If omitted, it will default to the scale set globally with the bcscale() function, or fallback to 0 if this has not been set.
Return Values
Returns the result as a string.
Changelog
Version | Description |
|---|---|
7.3.0 | bcpow() now returns numbers with the requested scale. Formerly, the returned numbers may have omitted trailing decimal zeroes. |
Examples
Example #1 bcpow() example
<?php
echo?bcpow('4.2',?'3',?2);?//?74.08
?>Notes
Note: Before PHP 7.3.0 bcpow() may return a result with fewer digits after the decimal point than the
scaleparameter would indicate. This only occurs when the result doesn't require all of the precision allowed by thescale. For example: Example #2 bcpow() scale example <?php echo?bcpow('5',?'2',?2);?????//?prints?"25",?not?"25.00" ?>
