   = POW( base, exponent )
   = base ^ exponent

The POW function raises a number to the power of another number. The result is a number raised to the power of exponent. It can be also represented using the ^ (circumflex) character as exponential symbol. The type of the result is big enough to maintain the next size of the operands. The exponent value must be integer and positive. When more than one exponent is executed in a single expression, the ^ operator is evaluated as it is encountered from left to right.

  pitagora = POW(a,2) + b^2 + POW(c,2)
