2.1.3.8 Operators - data manipulation tools

Operators and their bindings: exponentiation

Repeat the experiment, but now with exponentiation.

Use this snippet of code:

print(2 ** 2 ** 3)

The two possible results are:

• 2 ** 2 → 4; 4 ** 3 → 64
• 2 ** 3 → 8; 2 ** 8 → 256

Run the code. What do you see?

The result clearly shows that the exponentiation operator uses right-sided binding.
