Template:Powe
From The Scuba Wiki
POWer as Expression.
Allows a number be raised to an integer power from -150 to 150. Powers of greater than 150 are treated as 150 and those less than -150 as -150. Unlike template:pow ( talk edit history links ), the result is here an expression, #expr or #ifexpr still has to be applied. This allows further computations with the result, even if by itself it would be represented in scientific notation.
Usage: {{powe|<base>|<power>}}
Example:
"{{powe|2|10}}"
gives "(2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2)" [1]
{{#expr:{{powe|2|10}}}} gives 1024.
The parentheses are needed for a case like this:
{{#expr:1/{{powe|2|10}}}} gives 0.0009765625.
