We also call it caret (or hat), but not in the case of "4 ^ 3." Circumflex is way wat too complicated.Originally posted by Asher

What do they call it in the case 4^3? "^" is translated as "to the power of" in CS land, at least the people I talk with, when used in that context.Originally posted by Urban Ranger

When identifying it as a symbol, it's a caret (I've heard hat too, but that's just an alias
)

Only in some computer languages though. We just call it "to."Originally posted by Asher

Like, "4 to 3." Most of the time it's not ambigious.(\__/) 07/07/1937 - Never forget

None of the languages I use have ^ overloaded to mean power-of.
Unless C++ has it overloaded. But I didn't think it did, at least with the libs I used...
It's just standard 'net lingo."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

It should be pronounced, from now and for ever as "roof".
And.. a caret is a blinking underscore or pipe, next to where you're writing.får jag köpa din syster? tre kameler för din syster!Comment
