power of problem java

Question

So I made this basic script to test power of 0.

 #pragma strict
 
 function Start () {
     var i = 2;
     var b = 4;
     var a = i-b;
 
     print((i-b)^0);
     print(a^0);
 
 }

but it's outputing

-2

and

-2

when mathimaticly it should be

1

and

1 maybe -1 if it sees a as -2 vs (-2) which hopefully it does a = -2, so you can get a negative value vs always positives.

^ is NOT power of! its an XOR operator. Use Math.Pow as 'rameshp' said

Use the Math.Pow((i-b),0) instead

Yep. The ^ is a bitwise operator and does something entirely different than power. :)

there still is a problem the math power of function only gives back positive numbers when using the power of 0.

Please check how you are using it. It works for me when I use it like this :

console.log(-$$anonymous$$ath.pow(3,0));

This works when you're working with other powers of negative numbers as well. Let me know if there's another way of doing it
