you go from the end so first is 2**3 and then 10**8

It's how math (and Python) works. "Operators in the same box group left to right (except for exponentiation, which groups from right to left)". https://docs.python.org/3/reference/expressions.html#operator-precedence

If brackets were put up you'd be calculating according to the BODMAS rules, if there aren't any you should proceed just like math
