Note Program declaration AngleDegrees() (see Program Declarations (p. 473) )
sets math functions to use degrees instead of radians.

^
Raise to power
Result is always promoted to a float (p. 142) to avoid problems that
may occur when raising an integer to a negative power. However,
loss of precision occurs if result is > 24 bits.
For example:
(46340 ^ 2) will yield 2,147,395,584 (not precisely correct)
whereas,
(46340 * 46340) will yield 2,147,395,600 (precisely correct)
Simply use repeated multiplications instead of ^ operators when
full 32-bit precision is required.
Same functionality as PWR() (p. 497) instruction.
* Multiply
/ Divide Use INTDV() (p. 497) to retain 32-bit precision

of patterns of bits within an integer (CRBasic Long type). Here are some example
expressions and the expected results:
