Candy Doubling Day Calculation

TODO: collapasable, copyable, download, etc

Consider 10 days. If I give you 1 candy on the first day, and each
day I give you twice more
candies than the previous
day, how much candies will I give you on day number 10?# On the first day, 1 candy is given. Each subsequent day, the number of candies given is doubled.

We calculate the number of candies given on the 10th day.

candies_first_day = 1 day_number = 10

The number of candies given on a particular day can be calculated using the formula for exponential growth:

candies = initial_candies * (2^(day-1))

candies_day_10 = candies_first_day * (2 ** (day_number - 1)) candies_day_10512On day number 10, I will give you 512 candies.
