    Question What is the Java exponent operator?

    I know that in VB, the operator to illustrate exponents is a hat (^). How can I write this exponent operator in java?

    Thanks a bunch!

    2 ^ 3 = 8

    Code:
    double cubed = java.lang.Math.pow ( 2, 3);
    yeah, there is no explicit operator for exponents in java

    and you don't need to type the whole java.lang.Math.pow
    as the java.lang package is imported by default, i jsut wanted to show you the whole path to the class so you didn't confuse it w/ java.math.*.
