Documentation​

Element-wise raising to the power.

Returns a column containing the result of raising each element of self by other.

Arguments​

  • other: The exponent to raise self by. If other is a column, the power operation is performed pairwise between corresponding elements of self and other.

Examples​

Squares the elements of one column.​

      import Standard.Examples

      example_div = Examples.decimal_column ^ 2

Raises each value in a column by the value in another column.​

      import Standard.Examples

      example_div = Examples.decimal_column ^ Examples.integer_column

Remarks​

Arithmetic Overflow​

For integer columns, the operation may yield results that will not fit into the range supported by the column. In such case, the in-memory backend will replace such results with Nothing and report a Arithmetic_Overflow warning. The behaviour in Database backends is not specified and will depend on the particular database - it may cause a hard error, the value may be truncated or wrap-around etc.
