Pyton

Question

Please what does** means

Answer 1

Hi Povo Gods Son,

The meaning of ** depends on the context:

1) Unpacking keyword arguments: Used in functions to unpack keyword arguments (**kwargs).

2) Merging dictionaries: Used to unpack one dictionary into another (e.g. new_dict = {**dict1, **dict2}).

3) Passing dictionary arguments: Used to pass a dictionary as keyword arguments to a function (e.g., func(**my_dict)).

4) Exponentiation: As mentioned in the earlier reply, ** is also the power operator (e.g., 2 ** 3 means 2 to the power of 3).

Answer 2

Povo Gods Son
It's the same as
2**3 or 2 to the 3rd power
Or 2*2*2 = 8
