In this program, we will find the exponential using the "**" operator. Here right operand becomes the exponent of the left side operator.
Program/Source Code
The source code to demonstrate the exponential operator is given below. The given program is compiled and executed on UBUNTU 18.04 successfully.
# Ruby program to demonstrate
# the exponential operator
num1 = 2
num2 = 5
num3 = num1 ** num2
puts("Exponential: ",num3)
Output
Exponential:
32
