^ 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.
Example
This example uses the ^ operator to raise a number to the power of an exponent.
