C/C++ Programming

Related to pow() function in C/C++. The Syntax is : pow(x,y). If the y part of the function is a fraction it gives an error. What should be the Syntax for such a function that there is no error?

Pow(x,y) has always worked perfectly for me with fractional y.

Does this program give you an error? Doesn't for me.

#include<math.h>
#include<stdio.h>

int main(void)
{
    (void)printf("%f\n",pow(4,0.75));
    return 0;
}

Note: If using GCC to compile, do link the math.h by passing -lm parameter.

The return is double.. so make sure you use double for the variable...
