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.
