+float_power(input, exponent, *, out=None) -> Tensor
+
+Raises :attr:`input` to the power of :attr:`exponent`, elementwise, in double precision. 
+If neither input is complex returns a ``torch.float64`` tensor, 
+and if one or more inputs is complex returns a ``torch.complex128`` tensor.
+
+.. note:: 
+    This function always computes in double precision, unlike :func:`torch.pow`, 
+    which implements more typical :ref:`type promotion <type-promotion-doc>`.
+    This is useful when the computation needs to be performed in a wider or more precise dtype, 
+    or the results of the computation may contain fractional values not representable in the input dtypes, 
+    like when an integer base is raised to a negative integer exponent.
+
+Args:
+    input (Tensor or Number): the base value(s)
+    exponent (Tensor or Number): the exponent value(s)
+
+Keyword args:
+    {out}
+
+Example::
