Raises base object elements to any power.

Class
TMtxVec

Raises each of the Base object elements to real Exponent power. Size and Complex properties of calling object are adjusted automatically.

---

Raises all calling vector elements to complex power Exponent in-place. If the calling vector is real and has negative elements, the result will be NAN at those entries. To obtain a valid result in this case, extend the calling vector to complex with ExtendToComplex method. In all real/complex combinations, the Power method will not automatically assume that a number is complex to speed up the computation. Alternatively the user can of course always convert the real numbers to complex before passing them to the Power routine.

---

Raises Base calling object elements to any power. The IntPower is faster, if Exponent is an integer. Real valued power can handle only positive Exponent. IntPower can handle negative exponent also. To compute a power to the negative exponent in general case or when the base is negative, use the complex version of the function.

Example 1

      var a: TVec;
      begin
        CreateIt(a);
        try
          a.SetIt(False,[1,2,3,4]);
          a.Power(1.2);
        finally
          FreeIt(a);
        end;
      end;

Declaration

Function Power(Base: TMtxVec; Exponent: TCplx): TMtxVec;

Description

Raises each of the Base object elements to complex Exponent power. Size and Complex properties of calling object are adjusted automatically.

---

Raises Base complex value to Exponent object values powers and store the results to calling object values. Size and Complex properties of calling object are adjusted automatically.

---

Raises each of Base object elements to corresponding power, stored in Exponenet elements:

 Power[i] = Base[i]^Exponent[i]

Size and Complex property of calling object are adjusted automatically. An exception is raised if Base and Exponent sizes do not match.

---

Raises base elements to exponent power.
Raises Base value to Exponent object values powers and store the results to calling object values. Size and Complex properties of calling object are adjusted automatically.
