Well, you could just check with smaller numbers. Lets use 4 to help us out a little:

4^2 = 16
1000^4 = 1000000000000

So, from this it seems 1000^n is greater.

n^n has the potential to be greater than n^1000. If n<1000 then n^1000 will be bigger. Since you said the numbers will be massive n^n is definately bigger.

And once again assuming n > 1000 n^n is bigger than 1000^n so we end up with (from biggest to smallest)

n^n
1000^n
n^1000
n^2

So what we can see is that anything to the power of n has the potential to be much larger. So anything^n is at the top. After that you can just sort them by how large the static numbers are (in your case n should be considered larger than any static number)

To be honest, i don't really know why you asked this question, and why you asked it here. I see no relation to C#, and you could have just typed some numbers into a calculator to see which is bigger. Infact, its pretty obvious which is going to be the smallest, after you think about it for a bit.

My current favourite word is: Bacon!
