Returns val**factor of the given value, if defined.
cirq.pow( val: Any, exponent: Any, default: Any = RaiseTypeErrorIfNotProvided ) -> Any
Values define an extrapolation by defining a pow(self, exponent) method. Note that the method may return NotImplemented to indicate a particular extrapolation can't be done.
Args |
|---|
val | The value or iterable of values to invert. |
exponent | The extrapolation factor. For example, if this is 0.5 and val is a gate then the caller is asking for a square root of the gate. |
default | Determines the fallback behavior when val doesn't have an extrapolation defined. If default is not set and that occurs, a TypeError is raised instead. |
Returns |
|---|
If val has a pow method that returns something besides NotImplemented, that result is returned. Otherwise, if a default value was specified, the default value is returned. |
Raises |
|---|
TypeError | val doesn't have a pow method (or that method returned NotImplemented) and no default value was specified. |
