pow in PyTorch

pow() can get the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more powers from two of the 0D or more D tensors of zero or more elements or the 0D or more D tensor of zero or more elements and a scalar as shown below:

*Memos:

pow() can be used with torch or a tensor.
The 1st argument(input) with torch(Required-Type:tensor or scalar of int, float or complex) or using a tensor(Required-Type:tensor of int, float or complex). *torch must use a scalar without input=.
The 2nd argument with torch or the 1st argument with a tensor is exponent(Required-Type:tensor or scalar of int, float or complex). *A negative scalar cannot be used.
There is out argument with torch(Optional-Default:None-Type:tensor): *Memos:
- out= must be used.
- My post explains out argument.
The combination of a scalar(input or a tensor) and a scalar(exponent) cannot be used.
The combination of a tensor(input(bool) or a tensor(bool)) and a scalar(exponent(bool)) works.
