In the formula for calculating the volume of a sphere, the radius is raised to the power of 3. So, if I assign a variable such as sphere_radius to the radius, how would I raise that variable to the power of 3 (in shorthand form without having to multiply the radius three times) in my python statement to calculate the volume?

@MohamadGhaithAlzin please reference the official Python docs - [`pow()`](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#pow) - instead of a lousy, error-prone SEO-driven website. – MattDMo Sep 02 '22 at 01:46

In python, a**b will raise a to the power of b.
For example:
cubed = radius ** 3
