Exponentiate (x ^ y)

Usage
x ^ y 
Raise x to the power of y.

Note: The Number value y can be fractional, and it can be positive or negative. The Number value x can be fractional, but can be negative only if y is a whole number.
Examples
3 ^ 2
Returns 9.
3 ^ .5
Returns 1.73205….
(-3.5) ^ 2
Returns 12.25. Note that the Exponentiation operator has a higher precedence than Negation, so –3.5 ^ 2 is different from (-3.5) ^ 2.
3 ^ (-2)
Returns .111...

Note: To express a number to a negative power, enclose the power in parentheses.
