Hi everyone. I just started to learn this course. I don't understand this sentence: using IDLE to calculate 23.0 to the 5th power. Can some one help to explain the meaning of 23.0 to the 5th power? Many thanks.

OpenStudy (harsimran_hs4):

that means (23.0)*23.0*23.0*23.0*23.0 i.e 23.0 raised to the power 5
