Algol used ^
More common, historically, is the use of ** as the exponentiation
operator: Fortran, PL/I, perl, python
Curiously, many modern languages -- inexplicably -- don't have an
exponentiation operator: C, Java, Javascript, PHP

When my level of free time matches my level of curiousity, I'll have to

Any ideas how I would go about changing my calculation, as php dosn't

can write 3 * (2 ^ 3), the answer to which would be 24. (as 2 ^ 3 = 8).
