 ## power-of (^)
 
-Use `^` to raises the `oper1` argument to the power of the `oper2` argument.
+Use the exponentiation operator `^` to raise the `oper1` argument to the power of the `oper2` argument.
+You can use this operator with both integer or decimal values.
+When the operands are integers, the result is an integer if the exponent is not negative.
+When the operands are decimals or you use a negative exponent, the result is always a decimal.
