- **Namespace:** BUILTIN
- **Runtime name (Lua/JS):** `Pow`
- **Side:** client (game native)
- **Name status:** official
- **Documentation:** named only
- **Since game build:** 1207

## Signature

```c
float POW(float base, float exponent);
```

## Parameters

- `base` (`float`)
- `exponent` (`float`)

## Returns

`float`

## Usage

### Lua

```lua
local retval = Pow(base, exponent)

-- always available, by hash
local retval = Citizen.InvokeNative(0xE3621CC40F31FE2E, base, exponent, Citizen.ResultAsFloat())
```

### JavaScript

```js
const retval = Pow(base, exponent);

// by hash
const retval = Citizen.invokeNative('0xE3621CC40F31FE2E', base + 0.0000001, exponent + 0.0000001, Citizen.returnResultAnyway(), Citizen.resultAsFloat());
```

### C#

```csharp
float retval = Function.Call<float>((Hash)0xE3621CC40F31FE2E, base, exponent);
```

- Float parameters: Lua integers (`10`, or whole numbers decoded from NUI/JSON) are sent as ints and read as garbage. Write `10.0` or `value + 0.0`. The generated JS wrappers add `0.0000001` to non-zero floats for the same reason.
