OUTPUT EXPLANATION

Question

I am playing in the playground but I am not 100% sure why the output is like that

byte=1
for a in range(6)
byte*=2
print(byte)

why the output is 64?

I can see that 2 on 8 2x2x2x2x2 - but what is the role here of =3?

byte=2
for a in range(4)
byte*=1
print(byte)

output 2 ?

Answer 1

byte=1
for a in range(6):
byte*=2
print(byte)

#this for loop is for range(6),which iterates from 0 to 5
#byte=byte*2

1*2 = 2 #for loop : for 0
2*2 = 4 # for 1
4*2 = 8 # for 2
8*2 = 16 # for 3
16*2 = 32 # for 4
32*2 = 64 # for 5

#this is why the answer is 64.
And same explanation goes for your second question as well.

Answer 2

sorry this was from another test, I changed it now
