I need to raise a double variable to X power.

something like this...

double rate;
double sum;

sum = rate ^ -360;

When i try to compile i get the error "Operator '^' cannot be applied operands of type 'double'.

So how does one take a double to X power?

Sorry if i am hard to understand. Im still very new to this.

TIA
