这是一个有趣的问题。如果你查看Java的Math类的源代码，你会发现它调用StrictMath.pow（double1，double2），而StrictMath的签名是public static native double pow(double a, double b);
因此，最终，这是一个真正的本机调用，可能因平台而异。但是，在某个地方有一个实现，它并不容易查看。以下是函数的描述和函数本身的代码：
注意
通过数学，试图理解它可能不可避免地导致更多的问题。但是，通过在Java数学函数源代码上搜索此Github并浏览数学摘要，您绝对可以更好地理解本机函数。快乐探索:)
方法说明
Method: Let x = 2 * (1+f)
1. Compute and return log2(x) in two pieces:
log2(x) = w1 + w2,
where w1 has 53-24 = 29 bit trailing zeros.
2. Perform y*log2(x) = n+y' by simulating muti-precision
arithmetic, where |y'|<=0.5.
3. Return x**y = 2**n*exp(y'*log2)
特殊情况
1. (anything) ** 0 is 1
2. (anything) ** 1 is itself
3. (anything) ** NAN is NAN
4. NAN ** (anything except 0) is NAN
5. +-(|x| > 1) ** +INF is +INF
6. +-(|x| > 1) ** -INF is +0
7. +-(|x| < 1) ** +INF is +0
8. +-(|x| < 1) ** -INF is +INF
9. +-1 ** +-INF is NAN
10. +0 ** (+anything except 0, NAN) is +0
11. -0 ** (+anything except 0, NAN, odd integer) is +0
12. +0 ** (-anything except 0, NAN) is +INF
13. -0 ** (-anything except 0, NAN, odd integer) is +INF
14. -0 ** (odd integer) = -( +0 ** (odd integer) )
15. +INF ** (+anything except 0,NAN) is +INF
16. +INF ** (-anything except 0,NAN) is +0
17. -INF ** (anything) = -0 ** (-anything)
18. (-anything) ** (integer) is (-1)**(integer)*(+anything**integer)
19. (-anything except 0 and inf) ** (non-integer) is NAN
准确性
pow(x,y) returns x**y nearly rounded. In particular
pow(integer,integer)
always returns the correct integer provided it is
representable.
