Hey all, I'm using C++ and the djgpp compiler to write mathematical models. For exponents, I've written my equations as "a^b" to signify 'take a to the b power'. However, the compiler complains "invalid operands 'float' and 'double' to binary 'operator ^'". What is the proper mathematical operator for exponent? If '^' is the proper operator, then what am I missing? A sample line of code might be: numberFemales = survival^0.226175; where all variables are initialized as float, double, or long double. Please send responses to e-mail: steu4718 AT uidaho DOT edu Thanks Todd Steury
