SuperscriptBox

Usage

SuperscriptBox[x, y] is the low-level box representation for  in input and output.


Notes

• Inside \( ... \) SuperscriptBox[x, y] can be input as x \^ y.
• In a notebook a SuperscriptBox can be created using ControlKeyLeftModified6RightModified or ControlKeyLeftModified^RightModified. ControlKeyLeftModified RightModified moves out of the superscript.
• In StandardForm, SuperscriptBox[x, y] is interpreted on input as Power[x, y].
• The baseline of SuperscriptBox[x, y] is taken to be the baseline of x.
SuperscriptBox[x, y] is usually output with y in a smaller font than x.
• In StandardForm, explicit SuperscriptBox objects are output literally. You can use DisplayForm to see the display form of such objects.
• New in Version 3.
