Answer 1

Just an advice if you're running your code in the Code Playground: Do not define or use packages ;) It isn't supported yet.

Answer 2

^ is bitwise Ex-OR operator, not the exponent,
as Programanta ludanto mentioned use pow function or either for x² write x*x.

Answer 3

In Java, the operator "^" doesn't mean power. Instead, you need use "pow" function or write like "x*x".

Math.pow(x, 2)
x*x
