I have a simple program and the output isn't what I expect. Could somebody please explain why?
Here's the code: #simple program print "v = 2" v = 2 print "v**v = 2**2 =", v**v print "v**v**v = 2**2**2 =", v**v**v print "v**v**v**v = 2**2**2**2 =", v**v**v**v #end program Here's the output: >>> v = 2 v**v = 2**2 = 4 v**v**v = 2**2**2 = 16 v**v**v**v = 2**2**2**2 = 65536 >>> I would expect 2**2**2**2 to be 256 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
