In python since ^ sign doesnt mean exponential then how do you do exponential function?

Question

I am learning python and Found that Exponetential Operation is Not performed using ^.

In python

2 ^ 3 != 8

as ^ is Used for Bitwise XOR operations. How can one perform Exponential Function ?

2 ^ 3 != 8

This doesnt Work.

You're looking for the ** operator:

two_to_the_power_of_three = 2**3
