Hi there. So if you want to make a function for exponent (e^x) rather than power such as x**n, then you need to use/import pythons math module such as Numpy.
Use: import numpy as np List = [1,2,3,4,5....] np.exp(list) This would give exponential value of each x in the list. If you want to just power by a certain base then use: def powerBase(base,n): return base**n Example print(powerBase(2,3)) should give you 8. That should also do that for you.
