Prototype
bnum BigNum.pow( bnum1 , bnum2 )
Parameters
bnum1 and bnum2
Positive big numbers.
Return Value
This function returns a big number which represents the bnum2-th power of bnum1
Remarks
bnum1 and bnum2 must be created before function call.
Example
require( "BigNum.lua" )
a = BigNum.new( "25" )
b = BigNum.new( "2" )
c = BigNum.pow( a , b )
print( "POW = " .. c )
Output
POW = 625
