How to calculate a power of function

[cmdolcet69]

How do youdisplay the power of a number in vb.net? I thought the ^
would work however it will not.

Public _sngOperand As Single
stackoperand.Push(New Operand(op2._sngOperand ^ op1._sngOperand))

Hi,
Look at Math.Pow function:

x ^ y returns a double, not a single.

Does the power fucntion need to be of double type? and can;t be single
type

Public Shared Function Pow(x As Double, y As Double) As Double

.. means it only accepts double data type.

Ok i get an error saying that the Overload resolution failed because
no accesible 'New : can be called without narrowing conversion.
Public sub New(sngnum as single) argument matching parameter sngnum
narrows from double to single.

The result is a Double, so if you need it to be a Single, you have to
cast it. (As the cast reduces the precision, it's not done automatically.)
