=={{header|ALGOL-M}}==
The eponentiation operator ** in ALGOL-M works only on integer operands.
<syntaxhighlight lang = "ALGOL">
begin
write("5**3**2 = ", 5**3**2);
write("(5**3)**2 = ", (5**3)**2);
write("5**(3**2) = ", 5**(3**2));
end
</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
The third expression results in a value that exceeds the maximum integer value of 16383. Sadly, ALGOL-M emits no warning or error message when this occurs but simply gives the wrong answer.
<pre>
5**3**2 = 15625
(5**3)**2 = 15625
5**(3**2) = -12955
</pre>

</pre>
=={{header|S-BASIC}}==
The exponentiation operator ^ works on both integer and real operands. Numeric constants in expressions are taken to be of type real, which is useful here, because the third result exceeds S-BASIC's manximum integer value of 32767.
<syntaxhighlight lang = "BASIC">
print "5^3^2 : "; 5 ^ 3 ^ 2
print "(5^3)^2 : "; (5 ^ 3) ^ 2
print "5^(3^2) : "; 5 ^ (3 ^ 2)
end
</syntaxhighlight>
{{out}}
<pre>
5^3^2 : 15625
(5^3)^2 : 15625
5^(3^2) : 1.95312E+6
</pre>

{{libheader|Wren-fmt}}
Wren doesn't have an exponentiation operator as such but the Num class has a ''pow'' method which does the same thing.
<syntaxhighlight lang="
var ops = [ "5**3**2", "(5**3)**2", "5**(3**2)" ]
