These are all great explanations. I think it might also be important to remember that when using Python, two asterisks like this: ** is the exponent operation. The first number is then the base, and the number appearing after the ** is the power to which that base is raised. (How many times it is multiplied by itself.) Thus, 3**3 would equal 27. (3*3=9, 9*3=27).

yes it is 2*2*2*2*2=32. if you want to get square of number than you can use 2**2=4 ie 2*2=4 or if you want to get cube of number than you can use 2**3=8 ie 2*2*2=8 and so on....

2 to the power of 5 equals 32. (2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 = 32)

i think 2**5=32 is 2*2*2*2*2. multiply the first number with last for the answer.
