The right to left thing comes from mathematics, there powers are done right to left aswell. The problem is just that 7**7**1000 is so mindboggingly large and you need so so much time to compute it. Try print(7**1000) and look at that number. 7**7**1000 has that many *digits*.

It seems that exponation is evaluated from right to left, so the second expression would be 7**(7**1000). I looked up online, but I couldn’t find anything, sorry. Better leave it to the Python expert, Kuba SiekierzyƄski.

What do you get for (7**7)**1000, and what do you get for 7**7**1000?

1.Input : >>> (7**7)**1000 It outputs a huge number. 2. Input : >>> 7**7**1000 It outputs nothing and it also doesn't say it error...it just shows nothing..(I am using Qpython3)

Just because if you don't use the brackets it will not understand that which value of power it should calculate first and if you use brackets it will calculate the one in bracket firstly and then the others.
