Can you help me on Growing Bacteria?

A bacteria culture starts with 500 bacteria and doubles in size every hour. Which means that after 1 hour the number of bacteria is 1000, after 2 hours, 2000, and so on. Calculate and output the number of bacteria that will be in the culture after 24 hours. The formula to calculate the bacteria after N hours will be: 500*2ᴺ. Here is my attempt: print(500**1000**2000) (500**1000**2000)

Here is a hint. How about. 2**3*3. The question requires exponation. The question says in an hour there are 1000. Then how about 24. And they have given u the formula. To use (500**5*2) change some parts in the formula in parenthesis
