Hey Everyone, Just curious - I'm working on a program which includes a calculation of a circle, and I found myself trying to use pi*radius^2, and getting errors that data types float and int are unsupported for "^". Now, I realized I was making the mistake of using '^' instead of "**". I've corrected this and its now working. However, what exactly does ^ do? I know its used in regular expressions but I can't seem to find anything about using it as an operator. Sadly my google foo is failing since the character gets filtered out.
