note 108734 added to function.pow

Many notations use "^" as a power operator, but in PHP (and other C-based languages) that is actually the XOR operator. You need to use this 'pow' function, there is no power operator. i.e. 3^2 means "3 XOR 2" not "3 squared". It is particular confusing as when doing Pythagoras theorem in a 'closet points' algorithm using "^" you get results that look vaguely correct but with an error. ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 188.221.7.254 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.pow.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/108734 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108734/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108734/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108734/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108734/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108734/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108734/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/108734 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/108734 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
