Math problem R**2...

[dv3119]

Hi, I'm new to VB.Net and I've only had a little experience with VB6.

I have a math problem that I don't know how to code. It is a correction factor for hydrometer readings based on temperature.

This is the equation with the only variable being the temperature = 'T'. (ºF)

Correction = 1.313454 - 0.132674*T + 2.057793e-3*T**2 - 2.627634e-6*T**3


Anybody know how to do this and what the double ** means?

Thanks.

** means ^ (raised to the power of)

and it can be solved by this code..

res=1.313454 - 0.132674*T + .002057793*(T^2) - .000002627634*(T^3)
