    <p>Use the <b>^</b> <glossary tag="operator">operator</glossary> to raise a number to a power, or to find a root of a number.</p><p/><p><b>Parameters:</b></p><p>The <i>number</i> and <i>exponent</i> are numbers, or <glossary tag="expression">expressions</glossary> that <glossary tag="evaluate">evaluate</glossary> to numbers.</p><p/><p><b>Comments:</b></p><p>If the <i>exponent</i> is a fraction, with 1 as the numerator, the <b>^</b> <glossary tag="operator">operator</glossary> finds the specified root of the <i>number</i>. For example, if the <i>exponent</i> is 1/2, the <glossary tag="operation">operation</glossary> yields the square root of <i>number</i>; if the <i>exponent</i> is 1/4, the <glossary tag="operation">operation</glossary> yields the 4th root of the <i>number</i>, and so on.</p><p>If the <i>exponent</i> is zero, the result of this <glossary tag="operator">operator</glossary> is 1, regardless of what the <i>number</i> is.</p>
