Order of operations

Question

Exponentiation has the next highest precedence, so 2**1+1 is 3, not 4, and 3*1**3 is 3, not 27.
I get this from a python book and I didn't get it. Please help

Answer 1

The answer is in your title, its because of the order of the mathematical operators. it will first do 1**3 which equals 1 and then do 1 *3 which is 3. So the square operator goes before the multiply operator.

Answer 2

Its like in math.. In arithmetics we learned that multiplications and divisions have precedence respect addition/subtractction at example:
2 + 3 * 2 * 1= 2 + ((3*2)*1) = 8

Same with python (and all programming language) that have own rules for precedence. In your case:
2**1+1 = (2**1)+1= 3
3*1**3= 3 * (1**3) = 3*1= 3

becuse exponentation operator (**) have higher precendence over addition and multiplication

Answer 3

It means first exponential will be evaluated then other operation like addition subtraction is perform by your example 2**1+1 in this first exponent will evaluate so 2**1 which is 2then it will add to 1 so 2+1=3 so 3 is ans.
So as 3*1**3 first 1**3=3 then 3*1=3 so ans. Is 3

Answer 4

Thanks a lot. Now I get it
