# babel-plugin-transform-exponentiation-operator
> Compile exponentiation operator to ES5
## Example
```js
// x ** y
let squared = 2 ** 2;
// same as: 2 * 2
let cubed = 2 ** 3;
// same as: 2 * 2 * 2
// x **= y
let a = 2;
a **= 2;
// same as: a = a * a;
let b = 3;
b **= 3;
// same as: b = b * b * b;
```
