  Mike,
            In "C"   ^  is the binary operator XOR.  As it appears on the
 surface I would think your code should work.  But obviously it isn't working
 for you.  I might suggest that you try  cout << (3^2); and see if that helps. 
 On the chance that you wanted 3 raised to the 2nd power, you'd want to look at
 the function call    pow(3, 2);
#include <math.h> pow(...)   really expects two doubles to be passed to it and
 returns a double, but I think this should work.  Sorry for posting without
 testing anything.  Perhaps someone will be along and clarify the situation.
                    Sincerely,
                             Br5an AT aol DOT com
