### Built-in Operators in BP and GPC

Besides the operators found in Borland Pascal, GNU Pascal supports the following operators:

- Exponentiation: According to Extended Pascal, GNU Pascal supports the exponentiation operators `pow` and `**` which do not exist in Borland Pascal. You can use `x pow y` for integer and `x ** y` for real or complex exponents. The basis may be integer, real or complex in both cases.
- GNU Pascal has a symmetric set difference operator `set1 >< set2`. For more about this, see Set Operations.
