Operator ^= (Exponentiate And Assign)

Exponentiates and assigns a value to a variable

Syntax

Declare Operator ^= ( ByRef lhs As Double, ByRef rhs As Double )

Parameters

• lhs
• rhs
• lhs

Description

This operator exponentiates and assigns a value to a variable. It is functionally equivalent to:

lhs = lhs ^ rhs

This operator can be overloaded for user-defined types as a member Operator using the appropriate syntax.

Note: This operator exists in C/C++ with a different meaning - there it performs a Bitwise Xor=. Note: Similarly to the operator '=[>]' (assign), the alternative symbol '^=>' can be also used.

Remarks

Usage

lhs ^= rhs

Dialect Differences

• In the -lang qb dialect, this operator cannot be overloaded.

Differences from QB

• New to FreeBASIC
