Re: Carot doesn't work as an exponent?

If ^ is pow() in BASIC, what is the xor operator? (Retorical question) It must have slipped my mind. When I was 7 years old, BASIC was pretty damn cool on my C64, but since then, it has lost it's luster to me, and I don't ever remember doing any bitwise operations in BASIC (but that doesn't mean that it wasn't possible). I wish I had started learning C then instead of BASIC, but as the saying goes, "If I knew then what I knew now" seems to apply here too. Cheers.
