💖 POW(3G) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the GLSL power-up page ✨ this one lives in section 3G of the manual (yes, the OpenGL shading one, iykyk) and it's literally just one function. one. and it ate. 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pow — returns the value of the first parameter raised to the power of the second 🌸

🎀 DECLARATION 🎀

genType pow(genType x, genType y);

🦋 PARAMETERS 🦋

  • x — bestie, this is the value you're raising to the power y 💅
  • y — and this is the power you're raising x to 👑

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

pow hands you back the value of $x$ raised to the $y$ power, aka $x^y$. slay. ✨

💀 okay but real talk though: the result is undefined if $x < 0$, or if $x = 0$ and $y \leq 0$. like. undefined undefined. not "we'll figure it out", not "probably fine". undefined. protect your shaders, bestie. 😭
