How much is 2⁸?

import math

echo 2 ^ 8

Output:

If the resulting value is too big (e.g. 2¹⁰²⁴), then you get an OverflowError exception.

However, using a 3rd-party module called "bigints", you can work with huge numbers.

import bigints # nimble install bigints

let big = bigints.pow(2, 1024)
echo big

Output:
