NAME            pow -- floating exponentiation x^y



SYNOPSIS        movf    x,fr0

                movf    y,fr1

                jsr     pc,pow

                movf    fr0,...


                                        y
DESCRIPTION     The value of x^y (i.e. x ) is returned in fr0.



                0^x returns zero for all x.



                (-x)^y returns a result only if y is an integer.



FILES           kept in /lib/liba.a



SEE ALSO        exp(III), log(III)



DIAGNOSTICS     The carry bit is set on return in case of over-

                flow or in case of 0^0 or (-x)^y for y non-

                integer.
