Compute base raised to the power exp.
How it works
Result = base^exp
An exponent is repeated multiplication: 2¹⁰ = 1024. Negative exponents are reciprocals; fractional exponents are roots.
Worked example
2¹⁰ = 1024; 2⁻³ = 1/8 = 0.125; 4^0.5 = 2.
Note −2² = −4 (square first, then negate) while (−2)² = 4.
Notes and limitations
Negative exponents mean reciprocals; fractional exponents mean roots. Exponentiation is neither commutative nor associative: 2³ ≠ 3², (2³)² ≠ 2^(3²). Zero to a negative power is undefined.
