# Power

## Overview

![The Power Node.](https://1582035224-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MIspkFTPkuGkv4UgQGs-3848250649%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-3398e5a27a87e55c5c481e8c59f2fdcf2d2b441b%2Fnode-power.png?alt=media)

**Power** performs an *exponentiation operation*, meaning that it multiplies the `Base` value, against itself, *n* times, with *n* being defined by `Exponent`.

## Attributes

| Attribute          | Type                                          | Description                                                                            |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Data Type`        | **Drop-down**                                 | The type of data that will be plugged into the `Base` and `Exponent` **Sockets**.      |
| `Default Base`     | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The default value of `Base`, if no value is provided in the `Base` **Socket**.         |
| `Default Exponent` | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The default value of `Exponent`, if no value is provided in the `Exponent` **Socket**. |

## Inputs

| Input             | Type                                          | Description                                                             |
| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Input* (►) | **Pulse**                                     | A standard input **Pulse**, to trigger the execution of the **Node**.   |
| `Base`            | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The base value that will be multiplied against itself multiple times.   |
| `Exponent`        | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The number of times the `Base` value will be multiplied against itself. |

## Outputs

| Output             | Type                                          | Description                                                                                                                            |
| ------------------ | --------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| *Pulse Output* (►) | **Pulse**                                     | A standard output **Pulse**, to move onto the next **Node** along the **Logic Branch**, once this **Node** has finished its execution. |
| `Output`           | *Defined in the `Data Type`* ***Attribute***. | The result of the *exponentiation operation*.                                                                                          |
