okay so this is a page from the Kernel API Manual, and honestly? it's giving tiny-but-mighty. we're talking about int_pow, bestie β the little function that does big math energy. π§
πΈ NAME πΈ
int_pow β computes the exponentiation of the given base and exponent
likeβ¦ it raises stuff to powers. that's the whole vibe. π
π¦ SYNOPSIS π¦
u64 int_pow (u64 base , unsigned int exp );
look at that signature. clean. iconic. no notes. β¨
π ARGUMENTS π
baseβ the base which will be raised to the given power. this is the main character of the operation, fr fr πexpβ the power to be raised to. this is the supporting role that decides how hardbasegoes π₯
π DESCRIPTION π
Computes:
pow(base, exp)
i.e. base raised to the exp power. that's it, that's the whole function. no cap, it does exactly one thing and it does it slayfully. π
