[This is preliminary documentation and subject to change.]
Used to raise a number to the power of an exponent.
Syntax
result = number^exponent
The ^ operator syntax has these parts:
| Part | Description |
| result | Required; any numeric variable. |
| number | Required; any numeric expression. |
| exponent | Required; any numeric expression. |
Remarks
A number can be negative only if the exponent is an integer value. When more than one exponentiation is performed in a single expression, the ^ operator is evaluated as it is encountered from left to right.
If either number or exponent is a Null expression, result is Null.
Example
MyValue = 2 ^ 2 ' Returns 4.
MyValue = 3 ^ 3 ^ 3 ' Returns 19683.
MyValue = (-5) ^ 3 ' Returns -125.
