We may introduce an exponentiation operator in a future revision as follows: !!!!!! The Exponentiation Operator Symbol @@**@@ denotes the exponentiation operator. It is right associative and requires two operands. >>background-color:#f4f4f4 padding:0.5em border:'thin solid gray' whitespace:pre<< '''Example:''' r := base ** exponent; (* exponentiation *) >><< The operator always represents the exponentiation operation. Its operands must be of a scalar type and they must be type compatible. Its result type is the operand type. Any use of the operator with operands that do not meet these conditions shall cause a compile time error. The exponentiation operator is bindable. The operator would likely have precedence level-4. |
