Python power of 2

Use the power operator ( ** ) to raise the left value to the power of the second value in Python. Python has three ways to get the power of 2 or any other number:

• The ** operator. To program 2⁵ we do 2 ** 5.
• The built-in pow() function. 2³ coded becomes pow(2, 3).
• The math.pow() function. To calculate 3⁵, we do math.pow(3, 5).

Simple example code.
