The pow() function in Python3 provide the values for exponents. >>>pow(2, 3) 8 Python3 has support to negative exponents that is can be represented using pow(10, -1). When I calculated pow(4, -1, 5), it gave the output 4. >>> pow(4, -1, 5) 4 I couldn't understand how the value 4 was calculated because, in the background, it performs and it didn't return a value 4 as a reminder when I calculated manually. When -ve value is passed in two values it responds with the desired output as a manual method. >>> pow(4, -1) .25 What is the difference when calculating a negative exponent with a modulus?
