SYNTAX

<Number1> ** <Number2>

Raises <Number1> by the power of <Number2>. The resulting data type is the more expansive of those of <Number1> and <Number2>. To find a root, <Number2> can be expressed as a decimal value, such as 0.5 for a square root, or -- for greater accuracy in larger roots -- in decimal format within parentheses, such as **(1.0/3.0) for a cube root.
