^^ binary operator in basic stamp?

Question

We need to mantain a *.bas file (basic STAMP). it contains the following line: if (x^^y) then We don't know what is the meaning of "^^" binary operator. (a single "^" is XOR and "^/" is XNOR). It's quite complicated to try to test it on the board.

Answer 1

In Basic STAMP, the "^^" operator is the exponentiation operator. It raises the value of the left operand to the power of the right operand.

For example, the expression "2^^3" evaluates to 8 (2 raised to the power of 3).

Here's an example usage of the "^^" operator in an "if" statement:

if (x ^^ 2 = 16) then

 ' do something if x raised to the power of 2 equals 16

end if

In this example, the "if" statement checks if the value of "x" raised to the power of 2 equals 16. If it does, then the code inside the "if" block is executed.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any more questions.
