(2**3**4) case 1) ((2**3)**4) //this is 4096 case 2) (2**(3**4)) //since the only operator here is ** , so no role of precedence ...here is the role of associativity , might the associativity of operator is from right to left ... so operation done first from right hand side

Exponentiation takes presedence and starts outside in. so it does 2**81 instead of 8**4 If you want 4096, ie 8**4 then use (2**3)**4 the brackets will force it to calc the 8 first.
