Function pow

pub fn pow(a: Real, b: Real) -> Real

Raises a value to a power.

This function computes a raised to the power of b (a^b). It handles various special cases and edge conditions:

• 0^0 = 1 (by mathematical convention)
• Negative base with non-integer exponent returns NaN
• Very large exponents that would cause overflow return infinity
• Very small values that would cause underflow return 0

Parameters

• a - Base value
• b - Exponent

Returns

The value of a raised to the power of b.
