[Tutor] raising number to a power

[Monte Milanuk]

So... pow(4,4) is equivalent to 4**4, which works on anything - integers,
floats, etc., but math.pow(4,4) only works on floats... and in this case it
converts or interprets (4,4) as (4.0,4.0), hence returning a float: 256.0.
Is that about right?

Thanks,

Monte
