Just because I was curious, I did the simple Debug.Log line but instead of using “Debug.Log(Mathf.Pow())” I did “Debug.Log(2^24);” and the output was 26. I was confused so I did “Debug.Log(2^5);” to confirm what it was adding the numbers and the output was 7. Why does this happen?
In C#, the ^ is the bitwise exclusive-or (XOR) operator. I don’t think it’s often used in game programming. I know some languages use ^ as an exponent operator, so I guess that’s why you tried it. The numbers you used coincidentally returned a result equal to adding them. This happens if there are no matching on (1) bits in the binary representation of the two numbers.
