    pow2

    No equivalent

## Particular cases

X=pow2(Y)

  There is not equivalent function for pow2 in Scilab but, when called with one input argument it can be emulated by: 2^Y

X=pow2(F,E)

  In this case, Matlab pow2() ignores imaginary part of input arguments. An equivalent expression for this use of pow2 is: F.* 2 .^ E (Note that 2 must be preceded and followed by a white space).
