basic question

[Altar]

Hi

In Visual Basic I have this numeric expression :

x = 2 ^ i;

if i = 3 the result for x would be 2 * 2 * 2 = 6;

is there any equivalent in javascript for the "^" arithmetic operator ?

thanks in advance

Math.pow(x, n) Returns x to the power of n

var i = 3;
var y = Math.pow(2, i);
y will be 6.

var i = 3;
var y = Math.pow(2, i);
y will be 6.

You mean 8.

Another reason not to use Visual Basic, then.

pow Method
This method returns the value of x to the power of y, where x is the base,
and y is the exponent.

result = Math.pow(x, y)
