math - How do you print superscript in Python?

Question

I am aware of the xb function in python, but it does not seem to work for me. I am aware that I may need to download a third party module to accomplish this, if so, which one would be best?

I am currently writing a binomial expansion solver, to try and use skills which I am teaching myself. The problem arises when I attempt to display the user input-ed expansion to the use for confirmation. Currently I am having to print the expression like so:

var1 = input("Enter a: ")
var2 = input("Enter b: ")
exponent = input("Enter n: ")

a = int(var1)
b = int(var2)
n = int(exponent)

expression = ('(%(1)dx%(2)d)^%(3)d') %
{'1' : a, '2' : b, '3' : n}

print(expression)

confirmation = input(str("Is this correctt? Y/N "))

This prints (2x4)^5, whereas I'd prefer the index to be printed as superscript. How can this be done?

Answer 1

You need to use a 'format' type thing. Use {}u00b2".format(area))" and the{}becomes a2`. Here is an example:

print("The area of your rectangle is {}cmu00b2".format(area))

The end of the code will print cm2. You can change the large 2 at the end to other numbers for a different result. I do not know how to do a lower subscript though.
