What is exponentiation?

Question

i need a clear explanation

Answer 1

when you raise a number to a certain power, it equates to multiplying that number by itself that amount of times

example:

2³ = 2*2*2 = 8
4³ = 4*4*4 = 64

Answer 2

simply raising a number to the power of another.

In python: 2 ** 2 = 4
In Java: Math.Pow(2, 3) = 8

etc
etc

Answer 3

Exponentiation is nothing but raising powers.
We usually represent these this way: 2³ or 2^3. In python, we use 2**3.
