Help me!

[Drizzt]

I'm an absolute newbie in need of help with Java.
I keep getting an error trying to compile the following:

return x ^ y;

Where x is a double and y is an int.

help?
Oh, I'm using BlueJ if thats any good...

[abc123]

well that won't give you an error

it will give you x [exclusive or] y


perhaps you want x [to the power of] y

which would, simply, be:

return Math.pow(x, y);

With the teacher's "Help" of course...
basically, I need someone to help me learn java in oh, 2 days or so... This teacher is so dry I havent paid attention and now I'm waaaaay behind...

Hey, at least I'm honest...

True, at least you're being honest. I'm willing to bet people will help you here, as for learning Java in two days I hope you like online references.

I bet Sun among other places has reams upon reams of (virtual paper) information about Java so good luck with that.

Here's a google search for java tutorial

What do you know, Sun's tutorial is at the top of the list, here's to being right eh?

Good luck.
