Exponentiation means how many times you want that value to be multiplied by itself. Denoted by double asterisk ** in mathematics its denoted by ^ Eg 2**2=4 2**3=8 2**4=16 2**5=32 and so on

The exponent (the little number above another number) tells you how many times you have to multiply a number for itself So 2**3 Is like 2x2x2 = 8
