Because you're looking for an operator.  Look for a function.
Specifically, look for pow().  In case you're wondering, look in the
manual for your C compiler, in the index under "pow" or "math", or look
in a C textbook.  On a UNIX system, the command "man 3 intro" may help.
On a VMS system, HELP will get you there eventually.
