NAME
     pow - floating exponentiation

SYNOPSIS
     movf    x,fr0
     movf    y,fr1
     jsr     pc,pow

     double pow(x,y)
     double x, y;

DESCRIPTION
     Pow returns the value of xy (in fr0).  Pow(0.0, y) is 0 for
     any y.  Pow(-x, y) returns a result only if y is an integer.

SEE ALSO
     exp (III), log (III)

DIAGNOSTICS
     The carry bit is set on return in case of overflow,
     pow(0.0, 0.0), or pow(-x, y) for non-integral y.  From C
     there is no diagnostic.
