Can you explain what exponential mean but in simpler terms

Question

please

Answer 1

Here are some examples:
2**4 = 2*2*2*2 = 16
5**3 = 5*5*5= 125

Answer 2

Exponentiation

Besides addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, Python also supports exponentiation, which is the raising of one number to the power of another. This operation is performed using two asterisks.

>>> 2**5
32
>>> 9 ** (1/2)
3.0

PLEASE ALSO READ COMMENTS SECTION OF THIS PAGE(link is given below), THAT WILL HELP TO UNDERSTAND.

Answer 3

Hey there 😃

When we say exponential, we are saying that we multiply a number multiple times.

2**2 is saying multiply 2 twice.

3**2 is saying multiply 3 twice.

2**12 is saying multiply 2 twelve times.

And so on...

base ** exponent

Multiply the <base> <exponent> number of times.

Hope that helps you 😃

Simply put it means multiplying the number by itself. How many times you do that depends on the exponent.
