Both pow() and power() are synonyms in MySQL. Following is the syntax −
select pow(yourValue1,yourValue2); OR select power(yourValue1,yourValue2);
Let us implement both the above syntaxes.
Using POW()
mysql> select POW(4,3);
This will produce the following output −
+----------+ | POW(4,3) | +----------+ | 64 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Using POWER()
mysql> select POWER(4,3);
This will produce the following output −
+------------+ | POWER(4,3) | +------------+ | 64 | +------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Let us implement the above syntax in a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable ( a int, n int ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.51 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(10,3); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.18 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------+------+ | a | n | +------+------+ | 10 | 3 | +------+------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query of POW() −
mysql> select POW(a,n) from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+----------+ | POW(a,n) | +----------+ | 1000 | +----------+ 1 row in set (0.02 sec)
Following is the query of POWER() −
mysql> select POWER(a,n) from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+------------+ | POWER(a,n) | +------------+ | 1000 | +------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
