Added new _STRCMP and _STRICMP commands for quick string comparisons. Cleaned up QB64 to finish removing the QUI (quick user insert) code and folders. Altered UCASE and LCASE routines to be faster in some situations for us.

The '''^''' operation raises a numerical value to an exponential value.
|
|
|
|
|
|
''Syntax:'' return_value = number ^ exponent
|
|
|
|
|
|
{{PageDescription}}
|
|
|
|
* The number value can be any type literal or variable numerical value.
|
|
* Exponents can be any integer or fractional numerical value.
|
|
* If the exponent is zero, the value returned is 1.
|
|
* Fractional exponents enclosed in brackets will return the fractional exponential root of a value.
|
|
* Exponential operations are done first in the Qbasic order of operations.
|
|
* The square root of a number can be returned by the [[SQR]] function or by using an exponent of (1 [[/]] 2). Brackets required.
|
|
* Values returned may be expressed using exponential or [[Scientific notation]] using '''E''' for SINGLE or '''D''' for DOUBLE precision.
|
|
* WARNING: Exponential returns may exceed numerical type limitations and create an [[ERROR Codes|overflow error]]!

''Example:'' Getting the cube root of a number.
|
|
|
|
{{CodeStart}}
|
|
|
|
{{Cl|INPUT}} "Enter a number to calculate it's cube root: ", num$
|
|
number! = {{Cl|VAL}}(num$) 'gets single number value
|
|
cuberoot# = number! {{Cl|^}} (1 {{Cl|/}} 3)
|
|
PRINT cuberoot# 'double type variable for accuracy
|
|
|
|
{{CodeEnd}}
|
|
|
|
''Details:'' The value returned will most likely be a [[SINGLE]] or [[DOUBLE]] value. Make sure that the return variable type matches the likely program operations!
