^ sign

[marten]

Hello,

My english is poor, sorry. I don't know the word for this sign --> ^                     

I can't find it in labview..

For example: 3^3 = 27 = 3*3*3

Search Power of X into the Logarithmic subpalette of the Numeric palette

Hello,

It is called Power Of X

Computes x raised to the y power. If x is not complex, it must be greater than zero unless y is an integer value.

Otherwise, the result is NaN. If y is zero, x^y is 1 for all values of x, including zero.

The connector pane displays the default data types for this polymorphic function.

Thank you

i've got it!

Hi Karthik,

You re wrong absolutely, I m afraid to say...

0 raised to the power of 0 is NOT 0, but it is an indeterminate form.

Please read the following link -->> http://www.math.utah.edu/~pa/math/0to0.html

Search google for "Indeterminate form", you ll know more of them.

Hello Partha,

"0 raised to the power of 0 is NOT 0, but it is an indeterminate form"

I know that zero (power of) zero is undefined but...

In LabVIEW when you use "power of X" function with its both the input as zero ,resultant is ONE.
