pow(x, y[, z]) is a built-in function in Python 3 to calculate x to the power y and if z is present , returns x to the power y modulo z

Arguments

The arguments must have numeric types. This function takes two arguments, x and y, as well as three, x,y and z. If z is present, x and y must be of integer types, and y must be non-negative.

Return

If z is present it returns x to the power y modulo z.If only x and y are present it returns x to the power y (same as x**y).
