That is correct sir. Four carrot three is just four times four times four.
Sixty-four is the answer. What calculation did you want to do?

Thank you Marvin very much.
Now how about if calculation was =3^4 ( answer___) ???

3x3 x3x3= 9x3 x3= 27x3 = 91
All the ^ does is say the number preceding is multiplied by itself the
number of times after the ^ (carrot is its name I beleive).
So 2^32 would be
2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2 which equals
4,294,967,296

Thank you Abode very much! Your finding out I'm not a math major!
So as thick-headed as I am, in my words it should mean? anytime a number
before ^ for example: 3^4 : just muliply the times of second number for
first number before the ^ with the second number, whatever that number is. 3^
(should be multiplied by 4 (the second number) that is it is always
multiplied with the amount of that second # ??

I'm sorry but its difficult to understand your english. I think you have the
idea. If you know that 3^4 is the same as 3x3x3x3 then you understand it
perfertly.

It's called raising a number to a certain power.
2^2 is the way *XL* displays and calculates "Two squared".
It's normally displayed in text as " 2² ".
2^3 is "Two cubed", with a text display of " 2³ ".
For you, a general rule could be the first number multiplied by itself as
many times as the second number.
2^2 = 2 X 2 = 4
2^3 = 2 X 2 X 2 = 8
2^4 = 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 = 16
2^5 = 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 X 2 = 32
.... etc.
