JavaScript exponents

Math.pow():

js> Math.pow(12, 2)
144

There is an exponentiation operator, which is part of the ES7 final specification. It is supposed to work in a similar manner with python and matlab:

a**b // will rise a to the power b

Now it is already implemented in Edge14, Chrome52, and also it is available with traceur or babel.


Math.pow(base, exponent), for starters.

Example:

Math.pow(12, 2)
