What is the value printed by the code that uses exponentiation?

Exponentiation is a mathematical operation where a number, known as the base, is raised to the power of an exponent. To understand the value being calculated and why it results in 65536.0, we need to analyze the process of exponentiation.

In this case, if we consider a common example of exponentiation, such as raising 2 to different powers, the calculations work as follows:

• (2^0 = 1)
• (2^1 = 2)
• (2^2 = 4)
• (2^3 = 8)
• (2^4 = 16)
• (2^5 = 32)
• (2^6 = 64)
• (2^7 = 128)
• (2^8 = 256)
• (2^9 = 512)
• (2^{10} = 1024)
• (2^{11} = 2048)
• (2^{12} = 4096)
• (2^{13} = 8192)
• (2^{14} = 16384)
• (2^{15} = 32768
