SUMMARY
=======
The sample code below illustrates how to use the STL sqrt and pow functions in
Visual C++.

Required Header
---------------
<valarray>
<cmath>
Prototype
---------
// sqrt
template<class T>
inline valarray<T> sqrt(const valarray<T>& x);
// pow
template<class T>
inline valarray<T> pow(const valarray<T>& x, const valarray<T>& y);
template<class T>
inline valarray<T> pow(const valarray<T> x, const T& y);
template<class T>
inline valarray<T> pow(const T& x, const valarray<T>& y);
NOTE: The class/parameter names in the prototype may not match the version in the
header file. Some have been modified to improve readability.
Description
-----------
This article illustrates the use of STL sqrt() and pow() functions through sample
code. sqrt() returns an object of class <valarrayT>, each of whose
elements at index I is the square root of x[I]. pow() has three template
functions. The first template function returns an object of class
valarray<T>, each of whose elements at index I is x[I] raised to the power
of y[I]. The second template function stores in element I x[I] raised to the
power of y. The third template function stores in element I x raised to the
power of y[I].
