Integer Exponent multiplier (for enums/ints)

[Major Cooke]

According to Gutawer who did some testing, performing x * x (up until 9 multipliers, then it gets slower) is apparently faster than doing x ** y. In particular this seems a bit counter-intuitive especially if we're just doing integer multiplication.

And on that note:

Code: Select all

enum TestNum
{
	MyVar = 8 ** 2
};

Currently this does not work. I suggest an integer version of exponential power.

Yeah, that shouldn't be too hard to add.

[Major Cooke]

Awesome. That way this doesn't have to be a royal pain to deal with.
