Questions and Answers

What does the pow() function do?

  • Raises the first argument to the power of the second argument (correct)
  • Subtracts the second argument from the first argument
  • Multiplies the first argument by the second argument
  • Divides the first argument by the second argument
  • What is the correct output of pow(2, 5)?

  • 10
  • 32 (correct)
  • 20
  • 16
  • How does the shortest() function determine output?

  • It returns the longest string provided as an argument
  • It concatenates all strings into one
  • It outputs the string with the highest alphabetical order
  • It outputs the shortest string from an unlimited number of arguments (correct)

    Study Notes

    pow() Function

    • The pow(a, b) function computes the value of a raised to the power of b (a^b).
    • Example usage: pow(2, 3) returns 8, as 2 raised to the power of 3 equals 8.
    • Another example: pow(2, 5) results in 32, 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.
