[[Category: Mathematical $functions]]

The <var>$RxPR</var> function returns the value of its first
argument raised to the power of its second argument.

==Syntax==
<p class="syntax"><span class="term">%num</span><span class="literal"> = $RxPR(</span><span class="term">x</span><span class="literal">)</span>  </p>

If either of the following is true,
an error message is printed and a 0 is returned:
<ul>
<li>''x'' is less than zero.
<li>''x'' equals 0, and ''y'' is less than or equal to 0.
</ul>

For example:
<p class="code"> $RXPR(9, 2) = 9&'sup(2) = 81

 $RXPR(64, .5) = 8

 $RXPR(256, .25) = 4
</p>
