How about computes the given base taken to the power of the given exponent?

I think this can be the same description as in the README.md. Also, this URL doesn't lead anywhere, how about we use https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/pow instead?

I think multiplication is a mistake, how about The base number?

I think this can be B (short for base).

I think it breaks the consistency of other arithmetic computations in the project where A is always the first number of the evaluation (like in normal calculators)

I think this is a mistake too, how about The exponent used to raise the base?

I think this can be E (short for exponent).

@ronami I made the needed changes :) |
Hey Ronen, I wish to support the meta-typing effort by adding a new arithmetic computation!
