What kind of numbers are you working with?
For floats you have to use "pow()" from the Math Libarary.
For Integers probably want to write your own. This one is quite fast:
WhatEver powInt( WhatEver a, Int b ) {
WhatEver res = 1;
Boolean neg = (b < 0);
if( neg ) {
if( a==0 ) error;
b = -b;
}
while( b ) {
if( b & 1 ) res *= a;
a *= a;
b = b >> 1;
}
if( neg ) res = 1/res;
return res;
}
