pow()

Theory

176/268

pow() is built into Python. You do not import it. Freshers only need one honest call and the printed result — not a long definition.

pow() — output — 32 then 2. Last arg is modulo.

Wrong type often raises TypeError. Empty values matter for bool/all/any. Don’t mix pow up with a similar name (sorted vs sort, int vs float).

Exam tip

Call pow() once and say what prints.

# pow()
print(pow(2, 5))
print(pow(2, 5, 10))

pow() — output: 32 then 2. Last arg is modulo.
