Exponentiation Operator

Status

Stage 4

Implementation Progress

Commonly used in mathematics, physics and robotics.
Infix notation is more succinct than function notation, which makes it more preferable

// x ** y

let squared = 2 ** 2;
// same as: 2 * 2

let cubed = 2 ** 3;
// same as: 2 * 2 * 2

// x **= y

let a = 2;
a **= 2;
// same as: a = a * a;



let b = 3;
b **= 3;
// same as: b = b * b * b;
