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.
