is automatically converted to 
only if 
is an integer. - For certain special arguments, Power automatically evaluates to exact values.
- Power can be evaluated to arbitrary numerical precision.
- Power automatically threads over lists.
- Power[x, y] has a branch cut discontinuity for non-integer
running from 
to 0 in the complex 
plane. - Power[x, y, z, ...] is taken to be Power[x, Power[y, z, ...]].
