The question came up in class today: Why is there no ** or ^ (x to the nth power) operator in standard Modula2? To make you start your own private module collection of goodies? Because it is machine dependant??? We checked the 3 books we use in class and found no mention of why this is missing. -- Debora Weber-Wulff snail: FU Berlin, ZI Fachdidaktiken, Habelschwerdter Allee 45, W-1000 Berlin 33 email: weberwu@inf.fu-berlin.de, dww@math.fu-berlin.de
