%% MONOMIAL_VALUE evaluates a monomial.
%
%  Discussion:
%
%    This routine evaluates a monomial of the form
%
%      product ( 1 <= dim <= dim_num ) x(dim)^expon(dim)
%
%    where the exponents are nonnegative integers.  Note that
%    if the combination 0^0 is encountered, it should be treated
%    as 1.

%
%  Parameters:
%
%    Input, integer DIM_NUM, the spatial dimension.
%
%    Input, integer POINT_NUM, the number of points at which the
%    monomial is to be evaluated.
%
%    Input, real X(DIM_NUM,POINT_NUM), the point coordinates.
%
%    Input, integer EXPON(DIM_NUM), the exponents.
%
%    Output, real VALUE(POINT_NUM), the value of the monomial.
