Python

Question

Why in python if i put in 1+3**2=10 i get 10 but in this app the sum was find the missing number so it looked like this

1+ [blank] **2 =16 the answer was 3 but why is there two different answers to the same sum or how to i do this sum in python to get 16 and not 10

Answer 1

Python will always evaluate the same expression the same way. 1+3**2 will always be 10 because exponentiation comes before addition. The only way to get to 16 would be to use parentheses: (1+3)**2 = 4**2 = 16

Answer 2

thanks
