Description


This operator exponentiates and assigns a value to a variable. It is functionally equivalent to:

Note: This operator exists in C/C++ with a different meaning - there it performs a Bitwise Xor=.
Note: Similarly to the operator '=[>]' (assign), the alternative symbol '^=>' can be also used.
