pow

builtins

function

pow(base, exp, mod=None)

Equivalent to base**exp with 2 arguments or base**exp % mod with 3 arguments

Some types, such as ints, are able to use a more efficient algorithm
when invoked using the three argument form.

Changed in 3.8

3.8: For int operands, the three-argument form of pow now allows the second argument to be negative, permitting computation of modular inverses.
3.8: Allow keyword arguments. Formerly, only positional arguments were supported.
