C# / .NET - Math.Pow() method example

Math.Pow() is a static method that returns base raised to the power of exponent (value^exponent operation).

using System;

public class Program
{
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        //                          base  exponent
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Pow(  1  ,  2       ) ); // 1
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Pow(  2  ,  2       ) ); // 4
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Pow(  3  ,  2       ) ); // 9

        Console.WriteLine( Math.Pow(  0  ,  3       ) ); // 0
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Pow(  0.5,  0.3     ) ); // 0.8122523963562356
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Pow( -1  ,  4       ) ); // 1

        Console.WriteLine( Math.Pow(  0  , -0.4     ) ); //  ∞ / +Infinity
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Pow( -0.5, -2       ) ); // 4
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Pow( -2.0, -2       ) ); // 0.25
        Console.WriteLine( Math.Pow(  2.0 , 0.5     ) ); // 1.4142135623730951
    }
