Exponentiates and assigns a value to a variable

Syntax

` declare operator ^= ( byref lhs as double, byref rhs as double )

`

Usage

` lhs ^= rhs

`

Parameters

lhs

The variable to assign to.

rhs

The value to exponentiate lhs by.

Description

This operator exponentiates and assigns a value to a variable. It is functionally equivalent to:

lhs = lhs ^ rhs

This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types as a member Operator using the appropriate syntax.

Note: This operator exists in C/C++ with a different meaning - there it performs a Bitwise Xor=.

Note: Similarly to the operator '=[>]' (assign), the alternative symbol '^=>' can be also used.

Examples

start GeSHi

Dim n As Double
n = 6
n ^= 2
Print n
Sleep

end GeSHi

Output:

36

Dialect Differences

• In the -lang qb dialect, this operator cannot be overloaded.
