are extended with the following functions:
< / p > < pre class = "programlisting" >
power (x, n);
power (x, n, monoid_operation);< / pre > < p > Returns, in FORTRAN syntax, "< code class = "code" > x ** n< / code > " where
< code class = "code" > n > = 0< / code > . In the
case of < code class = "code" > n == 0< / code > , returns the identity element for the
monoid operation. The two-argument signature uses multiplication (for
a true "power" implementation), but addition is supported as well.
The operation functor must be associative.
