Math symbol help in C++

Heres the math I need to do. 10 to the power of "variable". How would I do that? Thanks

#include <math.h>

Then use the pow() function:

SYNOPSIS
#include <math.h>
double pow(double X, double Y);
float pow(float X, float Y);

DESCRIPTION
`pow' and `powf' calculate X raised to the exp1.0nt Y.

Im getting errors with it so Im gonna make sure im using it right ... If x = 10 and y = 5 then pow would = 100000 right? Can I use pow as a normal variable? Or am I right in thinking its one of those special words that you cant use because its taken by a header or something (ie math.h) . Sorry I am new

It's a function...so it you would use it like so:

float x;
float y;
float z;

z=pow(x,y); // z = x^y
