Writing something to the power of?
I'm unsure if I phrased this correctly, but I have to write something to the power of 2.5 and I'm unsure of how to write it in visual studio. Sorry if this is a bit of a basic question, but I'm grateful for any help!
The whole math equation is part of a BMI calculator so i have to write "1.3*weight(kg)/height(m)^2.5".

So would I write it like 1.3*(weight)/(height)Math.Pow(2.5)?
No
"X to the power of Y" will be
Math.Pow(X, Y)
Note the comma separating the two parameters
Math.Pow(base, exponent)Oh! I see, thank you!

For example, for 2^2.5, with .NET 7 or later, you have the flexibility to employ either
float.Pow(2, 2.5f) or double.Pow(2, 2.5), depending on the precision required. In case you're working with earlier versions, utilize MathF.Pow(2, 2.5f) or Math.Pow(2, 2.5) accordingly.
