If you have large (positive or negative) exponents, the following
function is faster and more stable. (Not copyrighted either :-):
double pow( double base, Int16 ex ) {
double res = 1.0;
double fak = base;
if( ex>=0 ) {
while( ex ) {
if( ex%2 ) res *= fak;
fak *= fak;
ex >>= 1;
}
} else {
ex = -ex;
while( ex ) {
if( ex%2 ) res /= fak;
fak *= fak;
ex >>= 1;
}
}
return res;
}
