Thank you Abode very much! Your finding out I'm not a math major!

So as thick-headed as I am, in my words it should mean? anytime a number
before ^ for example: 3^4 : just muliply the times of second number for
first number before the ^ with the second number, whatever that number is. 3^
(should be multiplied by 4 (the second number) that is it is always
multiplied with the amount of that second # ??

3x3 x3x3= 9x3 x3= 27x3 = 91

All the ^ does is say the number preceding is multiplied by itself the
number of times after the ^ (carrot is its name I beleive).

So 2^32 would be
2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x 2x2x2x2x2x2x2 which equals
4,294,967,296
