Static p5_sys::global::pow

pub static pow: PowInternalType

Facilitates exponential expressions. The pow() function is an efficient way of multiplying numbers by themselves (or their reciprocals) in large quantities. For example, pow(3, 5) is equivalent to the expression 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 and pow(3, -5) is equivalent to 1 / 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3. Maps to Math.pow().

Examples

function setup() {
  //Exponentially increase the size of an ellipse.
  let eSize = 3; // Original Size
  let eLoc = 10; // Original Location

  ellipse(eLoc, eLoc, eSize, eSize);

  ellipse(eLoc * 2, eLoc * 2, pow(eSize, 2), pow(eSize, 2));

  ellipse(eLoc * 4, eLoc * 4, pow(eSize, 3), pow(eSize, 3));

  ellipse(eLoc * 8, eLoc * 8, pow(eSize, 4), pow(eSize, 4));
}

Parameters

n base of the exponential expression

e power by which to raise the base
