NO NO NO.
16 to the power 14 is indeed 72057594037927936. Calculator is absolutely
correct. It is presumably doing high-precision integer arithmetic.
ActionScript is using
argument, multiplying it by the
second argument, and then taking the exp() of the result, because a^b =
e^(ln(a^b)) = e^(b ln(a)). These are all floating-point operations.
