Struct ImPowerFn 

pub struct ImPowerFn;

Raises a complex number to a real power.

Uses polar form and returns the principal-value result as complex text.

Remarks

• inumber is coerced to complex-number text; n is numerically coerced.
• Returns #NUM! for undefined zero-power cases such as 0^0 or 0^-1.
• Invalid complex text returns #NUM!.

Examples

title: "Square a complex value"
formula: "=IMPOWER(\"1+i\",2)"
expected: "2i"

title: "Negative real exponent"
formula: "=IMPOWER(\"2\",-1)"
expected: "0.5"

faq:
  - q: "How does `IMPOWER` handle zero base with non-positive exponent?"
    a: "`0^0` and `0` raised to a negative exponent are treated as undefined and return `#NUM!`."

impl Function for ImPowerFn

[formualizer-docgen:schema:start] Name: IMPOWER Type: ImPowerFn Min args: 2 Max args: 2 Variadic: false Signature: IMPOWER(arg1: any@scalar, arg2: any@scalar) Arg schema: arg1{kinds=any,required=true,shape=scalar,by_ref=false,coercion=None,max=None,repeating=None,default=false}; arg2{kinds=any,required=true,shape=scalar,by_ref=false,coercion=None,max=None,repeating=None,default=false} Caps: PURE [formualizer-docgen:schema:end]

fn caps(&self) -> FnCaps

Capability flags for this function

fn name(&self) -> &'static str

fn min_args(&self) -> usize

fn arg_schema(&self) -> &'static [ArgSchema]

fn eval<'a, 'b, 'c>( &self, args: &'c [ArgumentHandle<'a, 'b>], _ctx: &dyn FunctionContext<'b>, ) -> Result<CalcValue<'b>, ExcelError>

The unified evaluation path.

fn namespace(&self) -> &'static str

fn variadic(&self) -> bool

fn volatile(&self) -> bool

fn aliases(&self) -> &'static [&'static str]

Optional list of additional alias names (case-insensitive) that should resolve to this function. Default: empty slice. Implementors can override to expose legacy names. Returned slice must have ’static lifetime (typically a static array reference).

fn function_salt(&self) -> u64

fn eval_reference<'a, 'b, 'c>( &self, _args: &'c [ArgumentHandle<'a, 'b>], _ctx: &dyn FunctionContext<'b>, ) -> Option<Result<ReferenceType, ExcelError>>

Optional reference result path. Only called by the interpreter/engine when the callsite expects a reference (e.g., range combinators, by-ref argument positions, or spill sources).

fn dispatch<'a, 'b, 'c>( &self, args: &'c [ArgumentHandle<'a, 'b>], ctx: &dyn FunctionContext<'b>, ) -> Result<CalcValue<'b>, ExcelError>

Dispatch to the unified evaluation path with automatic argument validation.
