x=0
while x<20:
x+=1
y=x^x
print(y)
So the expected output to be 2,27,256,3125…………. But all it keeps showing is 0 0 0 0.

2`^` is not the correct operator. use `**` – warped Feb 08 '21 at 06:43

1^ is the xor operator. Anything xor-ed with itself is 0. So you are repeatedly setting y to 0. – Frank Yellin Feb 08 '21 at 06:44

1Note, that when corrected, the output would be 1, 4, 27, ... Rather than 2, 27, 256, ... (not sure where your expected output came from). – costaparas Feb 08 '21 at 06:46

as mentioned use `**`, `for x in [ (x+1) ** (x+1) for x in range(0, 20)]: print(x)` – D. Seah Feb 08 '21 at 06:48

1Also, your question should say something like "*I want print out `x`-squared using this loop*", not "*I want x to be incremented*".

^ is bit-wise XOR.
Exponentiation is **
x=0
while x < 20:
x += 1
y = x ** x
print(y)
