I was wondering the best way to make a power function for any number. I came up with the conclusion of using Newton's root finding Method which computes is a method for finding successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function. I was able to find that this worked perfectly on a calculator, but it didn't work when you program it. This is because the long, double, and float data types are not long enough. A bigDecimal is needed, but the FRC Java which is Java ME doesn't not have that class. Is there a way to work around this? Thanks a lot.
