Note
Definition

Exponentiation is the operation of raising a number (the base) to a given power (the exponent).

In R, this operation is available in the base language and is widely used in areas such as finance, probability, and combinatorics.

Syntax

To calculate a raised to the power of n, use one of the following forms:

  • a ^ n;
  • a ** n.

Example

The number of possible outcomes when rolling three dice is calculated as 6 ^ 3, since each die has 6 outcomes.

12
# Number of possible outcomes 6 ^ 3
copy

The result is 216 possible outcomes.
