great, now people are going to think I'm replying to myself

can you help on the question though?

>>16124256
do you mean repeatedly squaring the number?
x
x^2
(x^2)^2 and so on?

that's just:
x^(2^n)
where "x" is the number you start with and "n" is the number of times you repeat the squaring, starting at n=0

yes, is there a name for it? can it be done easily in binary without the need for multiplication?

Why would you feel the need to define an operation for a multiplicative property that only applies to 0 and 1?

1 = 1 * 1
0 = 0 * 0

"Ah yes let me call this the shitfuck operator instead of 1 * 1 or 0 * 0 because it is SOO efficient even though it's entirely unnecessary and nobody understands what I'm saying."

Fucking retard

are you retarded? squaring a number that can only ever be 0 or 1 won't do anything at all. i'm still confused as to what your actual question is tho desu.

Yes, it's called the multiplicative identity retard

No. Binary numbers are just numbers expressed in binary system.


>>16124341
fuck yeah man! the spice must flow!
>>16124355
I don't think I'm retarded, per se, but it's possible that we are not understanding each other very well

Now I know I can just say: 5^2^5 to give a really big random number when I want to set a password.


>>16124356
it isn't

It would be more efficient to use the Multiplication assignment (*=) operator.
a *= a

If a=a*a for a single element, then this element is said to be independent. If a=a*a holds for all elements in your domain under the operation *, then the operation itself is said to be indempotent.

Logical disjunction and conjunction are two examples.
