powerofreal (MathScript RT Module Function)
Owning Class: basic
Requires: MathScript RT Module
Syntax
c = powerofreal(a, b)
Legacy Name: realpow
Description
Raises input elements to powers that you specify. powerofreal is equivalent to power except that powerofreal generates an error if the result is complex.
Inputs
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| a | Specifies the elements you want to raise to a power. a is a scalar, vector, or matrix of double-precision, floating-point or complex double-precision, floating-point numbers. |
| b | Specifies the powers to which you want to raise the elements in a. b is a scalar, vector, or matrix of double-precision, floating-point or complex double-precision, floating-point numbers. |
Outputs
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| c | Returns the values of a^b. c is a scalar, vector, or matrix of the same size as a or b. |
Details
If a is a scalar, LabVIEW sets a to a matrix of the same size as b whose elements all equal the value you specified for a. If b is a scalar, LabVIEW sets b to a matrix of the same size as a whose elements all equal the value you specified for b.
Examples
A = [1:1:5]
B = A
C = powerofreal(A, B)
