[edit] HackScript

[edit] Exponents

How can you use exponents (raising to the power of) in HackScript? I'm try[ing] to get an exponential growth formula in a script for a demonstration on how to use getE() in a script but I need to use e to the power of rate times number of years. Willaward 00:47, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I suggest using a loop to calculate with exponents.

HackScript has such an operator in it - but it is not mentioned anywhere so far and one reason is because it is far from perfect.

float a=1;
float x;
int t=2;
x= a * getE ^ t;

t should be an integer (floats will be rounded down) and if t is less than or equal -1 then it will return 0. If t is less than 0 and greater than -1 then it appears that t is "rounded down" to 0 and therefor it will return 1. Consider it as an undocumented feature. And I tested it only in the challenge scripts. It might work better/worse/different in other script types. Thats why I suggest to use a loop instead.Silverlight 11:29, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
