zl:expt num expt Function
Returns num raised to the exptth power. The result is an integer if both
arguments are integers (even if expt is negativeD and floating-point if either
num or expt or both is floating-point. If the exponent is an integer a
repeated-squaring algorithm is used, while if the exponent is floating the
result is (exp (* expt (log num))).
