Why is exponentiation applied right to left?

print (2**3**2)
Answer is 512.
Why 512 is answer not 64? Because ((2^3)^2) = 64
I want to know the inside math operation of print (2** 3**2)
The order of operations for exponentiation is right-to-left, not-left-to right. So:
2**3**2
is interpretted as:
2**(3**2) = 2**(9) = 512

import math
def countSquares(x):
sqrt=x**0.5
result=int(sqrt)
return result
x=81
print(countSquares(x))
x**0.5 is "x to the power of 0.5" which essentially means square root of x.

I understand that the bitwise and operator (&) is equivalent to a product of two bit values. When would I use it?
Please also help me understand what num&1 does in the code below:
def func(num):
n = 1 + func((3*num+1) if num&1 else (num>>1))
return n
As the comments mentioned, num&1 is a bitwise AND between num and 1.
Since 1 in binary is ...000000001, the AND will result True iff the least significant bit of num is 1, in other words, if it is odd (here some explanation of binary)

pd_selftest = pd_selftest[pd_selftest['SICCD'] != 0]
pd_selftest = pd_selftest[~pd_selftest['SICCD'].isnull()]
I'd like to know what the function of the ~ is in the above code.
That's the bit-wise invert or not operator. So, it returns only those lines where the SICCID column is not null. I would probably use the word not in this case.

In python
2 ** 2 ** 3 is 256
But while in mathematics getting as 64.
Use parentheses. This will give the correct answer.
(2 ** 2) ** 3
Use parentheses
x = (2**2)**3
or:
pow(2,2*3)
