    display "x squared"

    Hi All!

    Is there a way of displaying X squared as in x superscript 2 to the screen?

    Thanks

    No, sorry, that's impossible.

    Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.

    This is what i tried. Dunno whether this is what you wanted

    Code:
    #include<stdio.h>
    
    int main()
    {
        printf("X%c", 253);
        
        getchar();
        return 0;
    }
    
    /* my output
    X&#178;
    */

    Keep in mind that solution is not universal. It depends on what character set is supported by your compiler and the system you are running on.
