Python

Question

a=4
b=2
c=2
d=a*b**c**3//2
print(d)

Please explain the mathematical logic behind this. I know it prints 512

Answer 1

** is evaluated first, and from right to left; then */ is done.

a*(b**(c**3))//2

--> 512

Answer 2

c ** 3 is 8.
b ** 8 is 256.
a * 256 is 1024.
1042 // 2 is 512.

You must have typed something wrong.
