Anyway, I was wondering about this, if internally pow() actually uses
**. :P

I suspect ** will be faster since it doesn't have the function
call overhead.
But I haven't tried timing it. Feel free to do some tests and find out.
Let us know how you get on!

pow() is the other way to do exponents.

You can do exponents either with the ** operator or th
Exponents and remainder (modulus) are **(or ^) and % respectively. I.E.;
d = a ** b (exponent)
c = a % b (modulus)
There you are!
