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

## Exponentiation-Related Nodes

The **Power**, **nth Root**, and **Logarithm** **Nodes** each relate to *exponentiation*. They all take two *known* parameters and return the 3rd *unknown* **Value**.

| *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, based on the `Exponent`. |
| `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.                                                                                            |
