# Exponentiation in JavaScript

There is also a special operator for raising a number to a power `**`. Let's use it to raise the number `10` to the third power:

`alert(10 ** 3); // shows 1000`

Let's raise the value of the variable to a power:

`let a = 10; alert(a ** 3); // shows 1000`

It can occur that both the number and degree will be contained in variables:

`let a = 10; let b = 3; alert(a ** b); // shows 1000`

Raise the number `2` to the `10`th power. Display the result on the screen.
