Having trouble performing the pow() function with
real numbers.
I want to also take a modulo value....
Weirdly, this works fine ;
pow(2,6000,400) = 176
However, this returns an error ;
pow(1.4142, 6000, 400)
I have tried also the math.pow() function but it doesnt
work either..... can any one give me a hand with this?
The 2-argument form pow(x, y) is equivalent to x ** y.
When working with integers, there's a more efficient way of calculating
x ** y % z, so pow provides that with the 3-argument form pow(x, y, z).
Of course, you could argue that pow should allow the 3-argument for even
with floats, but it wouldn't be any faster than x ** y % z.
