What is an exponent of a loop counter? What code produces this error?

The basic algorithm is as follows:

for t = 1 to 16
number = 2^t
next

I can post the actual code at some point soon, but the basic
relevant info is above.

Oh! The loop count as an exponent! All parameters must be floats.

Try:

sub Main()
dim t as byte, number as single
for t = 1 to 16
number = 2.0 ^ csng(t)
debug.print cstr(t) &": "& cstr(number)
next
end sub
