Study Notes
pow() Function
- The
pow(a, b)
function computes the value ofa
raised to the power ofb
(a^b). - Example usage:
pow(2, 3)
returns8
, as 2 raised to the power of 3 equals 8. - Another example:
pow(2, 5)
results in32
, since 2 raised to the power of 5 equals 32.
shortest() Function
- The
shortest()
function can accept an unlimited number of string arguments. - Its purpose is to identify and return the shortest string from the provided arguments.
- This function enhances flexibility by handling various input sizes seamlessly.
