PHP 8.1.31 Released!

bcpow

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

bcpowRaise an arbitrary precision number to another

Опис

bcpow(string $num, string $exponent, ?int $scale = null): string

Raise num to the power exponent.

Параметри

num

The base, as a string.

exponent

The exponent, as a string. If the exponent is non-integral, it is truncated. The valid range of the exponent is platform specific, but is at least -2147483648 to 2147483647.

scale

Необов'язковий параметр, яким вказується кількість знаків після крапки в результаті. Якщо опущено, застосовується межа, що встановлена глобально функцією bcscale(), або ж 0, якщо межа ще не встановлена.

Значення, що повертаються

Returns the result as a string.

Журнал змін

Версія Опис
7.3.0 bcpow() now returns numbers with the requested scale. Formerly, the returned numbers may have omitted trailing decimal zeroes.

Приклади

Приклад #1 bcpow() example

<?php

echo bcpow('4.2', '3', 2); // 74.08

?>

Примітки

Зауваження:

Before PHP 7.3.0 bcpow() may return a result with fewer digits after the decimal point than the scale parameter would indicate. This only occurs when the result doesn't require all of the precision allowed by the scale. For example:

Приклад #2 bcpow() scale example

<?php
echo bcpow('5', '2', 2); // prints "25", not "25.00"
?>

bcpow() only supports exponents less than or equal to 2^31-1. Also, bcpow() does not support decimal numbers. If you have scale set to 0, then the exponent is converted to an interger; otherwise an error is generated.

Well, if bcpow has limits, then this should work:
<?php
function bcpow_($num, $power) {
$awnser = "1";
while (
$power) {
$awnser = bcmul($awnser, $num, 100);
$power = bcsub($power, "1");
}
return
rtrim($awnser, '0.');
}
?>
Just that $power cannot have decimal digits in it.
