• It's a simple algorithm doing nearly the same what you can do when calculating a multiplication on a piece on paper.
• In python you don't need this. You simply say 2**n and you have it; so see it as prototyping for a final C/C++ program where you are limited by the given datatypes ... as long you don't write a 'BigNumber' class.
