# Power

## Overview

![The Power Node.](https://4263346935-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLnh3x8s9fddWeG8TaAug%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-c4c2270eb3f84f1c0a1931d2da1a58076359b6ac%2Fpowernode20241.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`.

[**Scope**](../../overview#scopes): **Project**, **Scene**, **Function**, **Prefab**.

| 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_.                                                                                          |
