6.18 Built-in Operators in BP and GPC

Besides the operators found in Borland Pascal, GNU Pascal supports the following operators:

• Exponentiation: According to Extended Pascal, GNU Pascal supports the exponentiation operators pow and ** which do not exist in Borland Pascal. You can use x pow y for integer and x ** y for real or complex exponents. The basis may be integer, real or complex in both cases.

• GNU Pascal has a symmetric set difference operator set1 >< set2. For more about this, see section 8.9.7 Set Operations.
