std::pow

template<class T> valarray<T> pow (const valarray<T>& x, const valarray<T>& y);
template<class T> valarray<T> pow (const valarray<T>& x, const T& y);
template<class T> valarray<T> pow (const T& x, const valarray<T>& y);
Compute power of valarray elements
Returns a valarray containing the results of the power operation on all the elements, in the same order. The results calculated are x raised to the power y (xy).

The function calls pow (unqualified) once for each element in both x and y; If either is a single T value, it is used for all calls.

This function overloads cmath's pow.

Parameters

x
valarray or element with the bases for the power operations.
y
valarray or element with the exponents for the power operations.
If both arguments are valarray objects and their sizes don't match, the behavior is undefined.

Return value

A valarray object with the values of x to the power of y.

// pow valarray example

#include <cstddef>      // std::size_t
#include <cmath>        // std::pow
#include <valarray>     // std::valarray, std::pow

int main ()

Output:

val: 1 2 3 4 5
val^val: 1 4 27 256 3125
val^2: 1 4 9 16 25
