Question

The function pow(x,y,z) is evaluated as:

(a) (x**y)**z

(b) (x**y) / z

(c) (x**y) % z

(d) (x**y)*z

This question was posed to me by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

I would like to ask this question from Built-in Functions topic in section Dictionary, Functions and Built-in Functions of Python

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) (x**y) % z

To explain: The built-in function pow() can accept two or three arguments. When it takes in two arguments, they are evaluated as x**y. When it takes in three arguments, they are evaluated as (x**y)%z.
