for i in range(1,int(input())+1):
print(((10**i -1)//9)*((10**i -1)//9))
print('lol just need to fill one more line to post the question IGNORE IT')
What is the meaning of '*' in between ((10**i -1)//9) and ((10**i -1)//9) in the above print statement?
Let's first look at what you are printing:
((10**i -1)//9)*((10**i -1)//9)
#that is the math task, from which you are printing the result
You asked what * means.
This is the multiplication operator...
Let's look at the other things, so you get a better understanding of what is going on
result = 10**i - 1
Here you are doing 10 to the power of i and then minus one.
The ** operator means to the power of...
So 2**4 means 2^4 or two to the power of four.
Then you are dividing the result of that task with 9 (result)//9
You are using // which is the floor division. This will cut of the decimal place.
The right side after the * is just the same as the first one.
You multiply them with the * operator.
result = (10**i -1)//9
print( result * result ) #Multiplication
I hope that this helped you.
** this means power , for example : 5 ** 2 which mean : 5 squared --> 25. 2 ** 7 which mean : 2 to the power of 7 -- > 128.
// this means Floor division - division that results into whole number adjusted to the left in the number line.
For example:
x = 15
y = 4
print('x / y =',x/y) # Output: x / y = 3.75
print('x // y =',x//y) # Output: x // y = 3
print('x ** y =',x**y) # Output: x ** y = 50625
print('x * y =',x*y) # Output: x * y = 60
Update
To be more clear : * this means multiplication operator.
Hope that helps you , Good Luck
