power
(x1, x2, /, out=None, *, where=True, casting='same_kind', order='K', dtype=None, subok=True[, signature, extobj]) = <ufunc 'power'>¶ First array elements raised to powers from second array, element-wise.
Raise each base in x1 to the positionally-corresponding power in x2. x1 and x2 must be broadcastable to the same shape. Note that an integer type raised to a negative integer power will raise a ValueError.
Parameters: x1 : array_like
The bases.
x2 : array_like
The exponents.
out : ndarray, None, or tuple of ndarray and None, optional
A location into which the result is stored. If provided, it must have a shape that the inputs broadcast to. If not provided or None, a freshly-allocated array is returned. A tuple (possible only as a keyword argument) must have length equal to the number of outputs.
where : array_like, optional
Values of True indicate to calculate the ufunc at that position, values of False indicate to leave the value in the output alone.
**kwargs
For other keyword-only arguments, see the ufunc docs.
Returns: y : ndarray
The bases in x1 raised to the exponents in x2.

Examples
Cube each element in a list.
>>> x1 = range(6) >>> x1 [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] >>> np.power(x1, 3) array([ 0, 1, 8, 27, 64, 125])
Raise the bases to different exponents.
>>> x2 = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 3.0, 2.0, 1.0] >>> np.power(x1, x2) array([ 0., 1., 8., 27., 16., 5.])
The effect of broadcasting.
>>> x2 = np.array([[1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1], [1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1]]) >>> x2 array([[1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1], [1, 2, 3, 3, 2, 1]]) >>> np.power(x1, x2) array([[ 0, 1, 8, 27, 16, 5], [ 0, 1, 8, 27, 16, 5]])
