pow() — Advanced Examples

Returns base raised to a power, optionally with modulus

pow() protocol implementation

Implementing the protocol that pow() uses under the hood.

python

# pow() - implementing the protocol
class Custom:
    def __pow__(self):
        return "custom result"

obj = Custom()
print(pow(obj))

Understanding the dunder methods that pow() calls helps you customize behavior for your own classes.

Handling unusual inputs and edge cases.

python

# pow() edge cases
print("Edge case handling for pow()")

# Type checking
print(type(42))

Knowing these edge cases prevents subtle bugs in production.
