Using the pow7() function
result = pow7(num);
Using the ** operator
result = num ** 7;
Using Math.pow()
result = Math.pow(num,7);
Multiplying seven times
result = num * num * num * num * num * num * num;
Using the pow27() function
result = pow27(num);
Using the pow37() function
result = pow37(num);
Using the powMult7() function
result = powMult7(num);
