Hello, 1.) I was wondering if there was any way that I could perform exponential operations on numbers that are stored in memory!
Yes. It is easiest if the base is 2. For base 2 (ie. 2^x), separate off the fractional portion of x, look up the antilog of the fractional portion from a LUT, and then shift that by the integer part of x.
