range(3) returns list [0, 1, 2 ] and list has size 3 so for loop will work 3 times

1st time, x = x**2 = 2**2 = 4, now x is 4
2nd time, x = 4**2 = 4 * 4 = 16, now x is 16
3rd time, x = 16**2 = 16 * 16 = 256, now x is 256 which is final result

Here ** is exponential operator which means power of any number like x**y here y is the power of x

Answer 2

Try printing out the values in and out of the loop to see how it works.
