Can you please explain the output of this code?

Question

my_variable = pow(2,2,3)
print(my_variable)

Answer is 1

Answer 1

pow(x, y, z)

Returns (x**y) % z

Hence,

pow(2,2,3) is equivalent to

(2**2) % 3
4 % 3
1

Answer 2

If two parameters are passed to the pow() function (for example, x and y), it returns x to the power of y. If a third parameter is present, it raises x to the power of y and then returns the result modulus that 3rd value. As of the case here:
2^2 = 4, 4 % 3 = 1
