25.2.7  Displaying exponents

The printpow command determines how the print command will print exponents in the special pane above the output line.

• printpow takes n, which is either −1, 0 or 1 (by default 1).
• printpow(n) sets the style for printing exponents with the print command.
  • If n=−1, print(a^b) will subsequently print a**b).
  • If n=0, print(a^b) will subsequently print pow(a,b).
  • If n=1, print(a^b) will subsequently print a^b.

Examples
