I.4.7.5 Exponent operator

The exponentiation operator can be used as follows:

z = x **y.

In the last expression x must be a scalar Result. The tensorial order of the returned Result z is identical to the tensorial order of x. The argument y can be either a scalar Result object, or a real value. Complex Results cannot be arguments to this operator. The real values of first Result argument must also be positive.

The three following expressions are equivalent:

            z=x**y
            z=Post.pow(x,y)
            z=Post.opPow(x,y)
