How to get the power of a Double with another Double in Swift 5.5?-CodePudding

So long story short I need to get x to the power of y which are both doubles

Problem is I keep getting 0

import Darwin

x: Double = 3.86
y: Double = 4.86

var Answer = Int(pow(Double(x),Double(y))) 

// Answer = 0?
// Answer Should = 709.2744...

So why is this the case and how do I make this actually work?

and yes this calculation works fine with Integers just the second Doubles get added to the mix it just all falls apart

CodePudding user response：

var x: Double = 3.86
var y: Double = 4.86

var Answer = Double(pow(x, y)) 

print(Answer)
