Do you have a calculator? If so test A=2, B=3, C=4. Not hard really.

Yes.

But from maths point, is not the same ;P Considering "^" as "elevated to..." he didn't specify which aspect is comparing

The question is tagged "C" - So I assume its the C ^ Operator - XOR.
I would agree that "to the power of" is not associative! :laugh:

Yeah, he accepted the solution, so I assume you were right ;P
