Exponents

Bill H

I'll introduce myself since i'm new...my name is Bill i'm an electronics tech in Canada but am fairly new to Stamps.
Can basic stamps do exponent numbers? I ran 10^2 in PBasic and the value 8 was returned.

The Basic Stamps are integer (16-bit signed) processors, so exponents aren't very useful as built-in operators. Use integer multiplication (*). The up-arrow operator (^) is used for bit-wise exclusive or and the double-asterisk operator (**) is used for multiple precision multiplication. There's a whole section in the manual on the numeric operators. Have a look at it.
