manager^2 and manager^3 are squaring and cubing the 'r' respectively. I think you meant:

(manager)^2 and (manager)^3
The lone manager is understood to have an exponent of 1.

    How does the xor operator result in exponentiation? Did you mean ** instead??

    DigitalKitty,

    Are you sure ^ binds stronger than the characters within a word?
