NAME

cpow, cpowf, cpowl - complex power function

LIBRARY

Math library (libm, -lm)

SYNOPSIS

bash

#include <complex.h>

bash

double complex cpow(double complex \nx\n, double complex \nz\n);\n
\nfloat complex cpowf(float complex \nx\n, float complex \nz\n);\n
\nlong double complex cpowl(long double complex \nx\n,\n
\n                          long double complex \nz\n);

DESCRIPTION

These functions calculate x raised to the power z (with a branch cut for x along the negative real axis).
