When I tried to print (5²) the output was syntax error invalid character in identifier , why??

Answer 1

Because the particular programming language in which you wrote that ,don't understand that syntax . Just because it makes sense to you doesn't means it should make sense to computer as well . If you want to find square of a number than most languages provide a math library (google about it for the language you are using) or you can just multiply numbers like 5*5.

Answer 2

Uhh, maybe print(5 ** 2)?

We need to raise the power of number for than we need to type like this
print(5**2)

Answer 4

Machines can not understand stand the normal mathamatics like
11%2 we get 1 likewise u has to 5**2
And high level language there is specific syntax : float pow(x,y)
Hope I discribed well...

Answer 5

5**2 will be same as 5*5. Machine can't understand communication languages like we do
