Math Output Unexpected

Question

I wrote >>>10^3, and the program output 9. Any idea why the answer was not 1000?

Answer 1

If there was no ^ operator, the result would be an error, not 9 😛.

^ is a bitwise (exclusive or) operator.
a^b
If one bit from a or b is 1, then it takes the 1. As long as both from a and b are not 1.

If a = 10 and b = 3.

10 in binary is:
1010

3 in binary is:
0011

1001 is the result of a^b.
1001 in base 10 is 9.

So, 10^3 = 9.

Answer 2

There is no carrot symbol or the '^' operator in python.
You need to use '**' This operator in order to raise a number to the power of the other number provided.
ex.. 10 ** 3 == 1000

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

Answer 5

Oh! that makes a ton of sense, so 9**2==81?
