Not really - what is a 'you' to the power of 131 even represent? Is that a 131th iteration of that person? Is it that person times themselves? What does that even mean?PluMGMK said:< points out that technically it would be "^131". < points out that this isn't the PAY game though so technically the word "you" is usable. < should stop since < is neither a mod nor Xenesus.Shrooblord said:Ok, so ^^^ should've said "^ · 131 is right about..." then?![]()
< says that when we write the symbol "^" twice, it means "^ × ^", i.e. "^2". Therefore if we write it 131 times in succession, it is "^ × ^ × ^ × … × ^", i.e. "^131". < supposes it would be less confusing if we worked with indices using anything other than a symbol which can itself be used to represent indices.Shrooblord said:Not really - what is a 'you' to the power of 131 even represent?

If we're getting technical here, <'s going the full monty.![]()
Ah, okay!Shrooblord said:< guesses that works since i3 equals i · i · i. However, since '^' is a direct reference to a name, <'s scientist self gets shoved aside for <'s programmer self and that person immediately substitutes '^' with its assigned value as if it were a variable.
So, PluMGMK, what does PluMGMK think of PluMGMK and ShrooblordShrooblord's discussion?
