Hey,

Let func = lambda a, b : (a ** b), what is the output of func(float(10),20) ?

Please can some share their approach to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance..!

what happens when you run the code? :-) i.e. there is nothing complicated as to what the output would be (multiplying float and int).
note that this example goes against PEP8 recommendations, so I would definitely mention it in an interview

Actually, was unable to figure out the approach to solve this 1e+20.

Got it, btw thanks:)

Simple things seem complicated to me;)

Why? What didn't you understand about the code?

there is nowhere 1e+20 in the question

Ah, I see - it's in the answers

Disclaimer: M a newbie in coding, trying to apply logic seems difficult sometimes.

But appreciate ya'll responding, will be back with more doubts whenever I come across.

There isn't really any "logic" in the code you posted, it's just a calculation. Assuming you know what the ** operator is and how functions work, you should be able to understand how it works (and if you don't understand those things, you'll likely need to study them more).
