SDL_powf

Raise x to the power y

Header File

Syntax

float SDL_powf(float x, float y);

Function Parameters

x	the base
y	the exponent

Return Value

Returns x raised to the power y

Remarks

Domain: -INF <= x <= INF, -INF <= y <= INF

Range: -INF <= z <= INF

If y is the base of the natural logarithm (e), consider using SDL_exp instead.

This function operates on single-precision floating point values, use SDL_powf for double-precision floats.

This function may use a different approximation across different versions, platforms and configurations. i.e, it can return a different value given the same input on different machines or operating systems, or if SDL is updated.

Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
