Examples

ROW base = 2.0, exponent = 2
| EVAL result = POW(base, exponent)

base:double	exponent:integer	result:double
2.0	2	4.0

The exponent can be a fraction, which is similar to performing a root. For example, the exponent of 0.5 will give the square root of the base:

ROW base = 4, exponent = 0.5
| EVAL s = POW(base, exponent)

base:integer	exponent:double	s:double
4	0.5	2.0
