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)
