php - Calculating an Exponent -



php - Calculating an Exponent -

in excel =(b5/2)^2*3.141592654, b5 rod.

this doesn't produce same results.

$rodarea = $rod/2 ^2*3.141592654 ;

what doing wrong? thanks.

my guess error in whatever language (perl?) written in:

$rodarea = $rod/2 ^2*3.141592654 ;

many programming languages don't honor ^ exponent operator, due ambiguity xor ^. typically have function pow or exp exponents. in case do:

$rodarea = (($rod/2)*($rod/2))*3.141592654 ;

(exponent in perl **, not ^, though don't know if that's right language).
