TI-BASIC:Ten Exponent
Command Summary
Raises 10 to a power.
Command Syntax
10^(value)
Menu Location
Press [2nd] [10^^x^^] to paste 10^(.
Calculator Compatibility
TI-83/84/+/SE
Token Size
The 10^( command raises 10 to a power. Since it's possible to just type out 1, 0, ^, and (, the reason for having a separate function isn't immediately obvious, but the command is occasionally useful.
10^( accepts numbers and lists as arguments. It also works for complex numbers.
10^(2)
100
10^({-1,0,1})
{0.1 1 10}
Optimization
Don't type 10^( out, use this command instead. It's three bytes smaller and usually faster as well. However, keep in mind that you might be able to use the E command instead of 10^(, for constant values.
Command Timings
The command 10^( is faster than typing out 10^( in most cases, except for small integer arguments. Even faster is E, but that only works for raising 10 to a constant power.
