问题 When discussing the question Exponentials in python x.**y vs math.pow(x, y), Alfe stated that there would be no good reason for using math.pow instead of the builtin ** operator in python. timeit shows that math.pow is slower than ** in all cases. What is math.pow() good for anyway? Has anybody an idea where it can be of any advantage then?

Does the implementation of pow() function in C/C++ vary with platform or compiler?

问题 It took a day to debug the built-in pow() function's output. The output differed between my compiler and an online compiler. That is a long story. I have written the following Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example reproduce the situation. Code: #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std; // This function just prints the binary representation as it is in memory // A modified version of Lightness Races in Orbit's code given here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/37861479/3555000 // I thank

I'm making a simple calculator that you can choose a function, then 2 inputs to get your answer. It's a neat little program and everything is running smoothly except for the powers. Every number works correctly. But according to this: 5^2=24, 5^3=624 . I am using pow(number1,number2) . #include <iostream> #include<math.h> using namespace std; int main() { for(;;){ int func; int number1; int number2; cout << "Input your function (+,-,x,/,Square,Power)(1,2,3,4,5,6) "; cin >> func; cout << "input #1: "; cin >> number1; cout << "input #2: "; cin >> number2; if (func==1){ int answer; answer =

问题 I'm writing a Java program to calculate how much food it will take to get a monster to a certain level in My Singing Monsters. When I run the program, it says, "cannot convert from double to int". Can someone explain why this is? Here's the program. int totalFood = 0; int level = 1; int levelMeal = 5*(Math.pow(2,level-1)); int mealNumber = 1; int levelGoal = 1; while(level != levelGoal) { if(mealNumber != 5) { mealNumber += 1; totalFood += levelMeal; } else if(mealNumber == 5) { mealNumber =

问题 I'm running the following code on a JDK Version 1.7.0_60: System.out.println(Math.pow(1.5476348320352065, (0.3333333333333333))); The result is: 1.1567055833133086 I'm running exactly the same code on a JDK Version 1.7.0. The result is: 1.1567055833133089 I understand that double is not infinitely precise, but was there a change in the java spec that causes the difference? PS: Because we use a legacy system, Big Decimal is not an option. Edit: I was able to track down the time of the change:

问题 I understand that this is a common problem. However I can't find a solid straight answer. 16 ^ 54 = 1.0531229167e+65 (this is the result I want) When I use pow(16,54) , I get: 105312291668557186697918027683670432318895095400549111254310977536.0 Code is as follows: #include <stdio.h> #include <math.h> #include <stdlib.h> void main(){ double public; double a = 16; double b = 54; public = (pow(a,b)); printf("%.21f\n", public); } Code executed with: gcc main.c -lm What I'm doing wrong? 回答1: What

问题 This question already has answers here : C++: How to round a double to an int? [duplicate] (5 answers) round() for float in C++ (21 answers) Closed 5 years ago . I am stuck in problem where the double number is not getting properly converted to integer. In this case-> int x=1000; double cuberoot=pow(x,(1/(double)3)); int a=cuberoot; cout<<"cuberoot="<<cuberoot<<endl; cout<<"a="<<a<<endl; Output: cuberoot=10 a=9 Why here a=9 and not 10? Any solution to this problem?? Also I don't want to round
