Hello,
I get the exception above when trying to use a float as radix and exponent,
e.g.:

>>> 5.3^4.3
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for ^: 'float' and 'float'


How can I use floats for powers?

Thanks,

Florian

That operator... I do not think it means what you think it means.

>>> hex(0x1010^0x0110)
'0x1100'

^ is the bitwise XOR operator. For exponentiation, use **.

>>> 5.3**4.3
1301.326396639844

Hope that helps,
