    Think about what dm3 really means. It evaluates to (dm*dm*dm). If you know that the 3 will be constant, you could hard-code the multiplication for a much faster result.

    Alternately, look into the built-in math functions, especially pow() > cmath (math.h) - C++ Reference

    What you want to do is system-specific, unless you use Unicode. ASCII characters don't include superscript numbers( neither index ones ).
