x

A double to be raised to a power. [Edit]

y

A double that specifies that power. [Edit]

Returns

A double equal to x raised to the power y. The following table specifies the results if x or y is equal to double.NaN, double.NegativeInfinity, or double.PositiveInfinity.

Parameter Values	Returns
x or y == NaN	double.NaN
x == any value except NaN, y == 0	1
x == -infinity, y < 0	0
x == -infinity, y is a positive odd integer	double.NegativeInfinity
x == -infinity, y is not 0 or a positive odd integer	double.PositiveInfinity
x < 0, (-1 < y < 0) or (0 < y < 1)	double.NaN
x < -1, y == -infinity	0
x < -1, y == +infinity	double.PositiveInfinity
x == -1, y == -infinity or +infinity	double.NaN
(-1 < x <= 0), y == -infinity	double.PositiveInfinity
(-1 < x <= 0), y == +infinity	0
x == 0, y < 0	double.PositiveInfinity
x == 0, y > 0	0
(0 < x < 1), y == -infinity	double.PositiveInfinity
(0 < x < 1), y == +infinity	0
x == 1 y == any value except NaN	1
x > 1, y == -infinity	0
x > 1, y == +infinity	double.PositiveInfinity
x == +infinity y < 0	0
x == +infinity y > 0	double.PositiveInfinity
