Power calculation (mathematics, not battery)

Support

Hi,

is there a WFF conform way to calculate the power of a numeric?

For example, in the designer I can write

(#Ds#**2)

and I will get the square of the seconds (0=>0, 1=>1, 2=>4, 3=>9, and so on). But that doesn’t install to WFF, as I just found out. Is there another function for that? A workaround with (#Ds#*#Ds#) is not an option because I need the calculation in a much more complicated formula and it’s **6 actually…

Thanks for your help!

You should raise a ticket at help.facer.io, so that it can be fixed in Facer Creator.
Watch Face Format does have function “pow”
pow(base, exponent)
Returns the result of a base raised to an exponent.
Number
(pow(12, 2))
144

It is not documented, but this should by the syntax: (X**Y)

X to the power of Y

But to your point, some function to not work as expected in WFF. Too complex math in the text field does not always work. atan and tan functions also seem broken.
