Hello I am new to programming and would like to do calculate y³ where 3 could be any number. Is the only way of doing this without writing y*y*y or is ther an operator I could use like y^3? Thank you for your help

Answer 1

Thanks a lot, you have both saved me from writting some really stupid long fuctions!

Answer 2

Also you can do it with exponential function: Exp(3*Ln(y)) where 3 could be any number

Answer 3

Use the Math.Pow function like this: double x,power,result; x=5;//whatever value you want; power =3;//again, what power you desire result=Math.Pow(x,power); }
