Math - power

[Raizn]

Hi Helpers,

id wonder if some of you guys could tell me about that in WE. I tested it with one of my custom spells and got some nice 1/2 circles. But how exactly work this with the numbers ?!

Bye Raizn

The number basically multiplies itself by itself the given amount of times.
For example: 5 to the power of (^) 3 is the same as 5 * 5 * 5.

You can search in Math things, there sine , cos , tan , square root , power etc...

WE CAN USE POWERS IN WE!!?

yes but:

a * a //faster
Pow(a, 2) //slower

 

[Romek]

The [ljass]Pow[/ljass] native is used for larger powers or if you need to use decimals.

r = Pow(r, 34)
r = r * r * r * r * r* r * r // etc.

r = Pow(r, 1.5)
r = r * ///Wait, wut?

 

[Raizn]

Ah very nice. thank you Romek.

r = Pow(r, 1.5)
r = r * ///Wait, wut?

r=SquareRoot(r*r*r)

That'd uses a native call in the end anyway, so it's hardly an alternative to [ljass]Pow[/ljass].

yeah I know, just wanted to say it^^
I wonder which one is "faster", I guess the Pow includes some kind of "rooting" (don't know the mathematical expressions in english..)

Thanks for the JASS alternative ^^
How'd you guys know that I'd be searching for it? xD
