## Description

Used to overload the `^</api/language/operators/mathematical/^>` operator, providing custom functionality.

## Notes

Create an <span class="title-ref">Operator_PowerRight</span> function in a class to specify the functionality of the `^</api/language/operators/mathematical/^>` operator for that class when the `Self</api/language/self_keyword>` instance is on the right.

In the function, the other operand is passed as a parameter and is raised to the power specified by the `Self</api/language/self_keyword>` instance.

The ordinary (left) methods are always preferred; the Right version is used only if there is no legal left version.

## Sample code

Using the Vector class (see `Operator Add</api/language/operators/operator_overloads/operator_add>`) with two `Integer</api/data_types/integer>` elements, x and y, we define an Operator_PowerRight function that raises the sum of the `Self</api/language/self_keyword>` instance to the power of the passed instance.

``` xojo
Function Operator_PowerRight(lhs As Vector) As Integer
  Var a, b As Integer
  a = Self.x + Self.y
  b = lhs.x + lhs.y
  Return b ^ a
End Function
```
