.SH NAME
SDL_pow \- Raise
.BR x
to the power
.BR y

.SH HEADER FILE
Defined in SDL3/SDL_stdinc\[char46]h

.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
.B #include \(dqSDL3/SDL.h\(dq
.PP
.BI "double SDL_pow(double x, double y);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Domain:
.BR -INF <= x <= INF
,
.BR -INF <= y <= INF
Range:
.BR -INF <= z <= INF
If
.BR y
is the base of the natural logarithm (e), consider using

.BR SDL_exp
 instead\[char46]

This function operates on double-precision floating point values, use

.BR SDL_powf
 for single-precision floats\[char46]

This function may use a different approximation across different versions,
platforms and configurations\[char46] i\[char46]e, it can return a different value given
the same input on different machines or operating systems, or if SDL is
updated\[char46]

.SH FUNCTION PARAMETERS
.TP
.I x
the base\[char46]
.TP
.I y
the exponent\[char46]
.SH RETURN VALUE
Returns
.BR x
raised to the power
.BR y
\[char46]

.SH THREAD SAFETY
It is safe to call this function from any thread\[char46]

.SH AVAILABILITY
This function is available since SDL 3\[char46]2\[char46]0\[char46]
