what's ^ operator for

Using Swift
1

Hi all, I wrote this in XCode Playground…
let i = 2^2print(i)
It runs fine without any errors and print 0, while I expect it to print 4 from 2 power by 2 or 2². Swift ebook and even Google gave me nothing on this.
What did I miss?
Thank you.

Forget it. Just found the answer myself on Swift ebook. It's a bitwise xor operator. And there's no power operator in Swift. Sorry.

I've looked for this for hours. Why did I find the answer after I asked here? Life. :)

The ^ operator performs a bitwise XOR <Bitwise operation - Wikipedia. This is not the same as exponentiation.
