# Pow (BaseExponent)

| **Name**    | ***Pow***                                                                                  |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Syntax      | Pow (Real base, Real exponent)                                                             |
| Purpose     | To return base value raised to the power signified by the exponent value.                  |
| Description | Returns base raised to power exponent                                                      |
| Return Type | Real                                                                                       |
| Parameters  | <p>base \[System.Double] – Base value</p><p>exponent \[System.Double] – Exponent value</p> |

**Example**

In this example, we are passing *base* and *exponent* values to the function transformation object using a *Variables* object.

Where,

*base* = 5

*exponent* = 3

In the *Data Preview* window, you can see that the returned value, 125, is the *base* value, 5, raised to the *exponent* value, 3.
