^Operator

       

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 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.

Usually, the data type of result is a Double or a Variant containing a Double. However, if either number or exponent is a Null expression, result is Null.
