# numpy.emath.power

emath.power(x, p)

  Return x to the power p, (x**p).

  If x contains negative values, the output is converted to the complex domain.

  Parameters:
    x array_like

      The input value(s).

    p array_like of ints

      The power(s) to which x is raised. If x contains multiple values, p has to either be a scalar, or contain the same number of values as x. In the latter case, the result is `x[0]**p[0], x[1]**p[1], ...`.

  Returns:
    out ndarray or scalar

      The result of `x**p`. If x and p are scalars, so is out, otherwise an array is returned.

  Examples

      >>> np.set_printoptions(precision=4)

      >>> np.emath.power([2, 4], 2)
      array([ 4, 16])
      >>> np.emath.power([2, 4], -2)
      array([0.25  ,  0.0625])
      >>> np.emath.power([-2, 4], 2)
      array([ 4.-0.j, 16.+0.j])
