Python pow() Function

Python pow() function is used to compute the powers of a number. It returns x to the power of y modulus z if a third argument(z) is present, i.e. (x, y) % z.

Signature

Parameters

x: It is a number, a base

y: It is a number, an exponent.

z (optional): It is a number and the modulus.

Return

It returns x to the power of y modulus z, if a third argument(z) is given, i.e. (x, y) % z.
