How to return a list of numbers of the power of 2?

Question

def problem(n):
myList = []
for j in range(0, n):
    number = 2 ** j
    myList.append(number)
return myList

I want this code to return the powers

Answer 1

As @JBernardo pointed out, I assume there is a typo in your question.

def squares(n):
    power = n
    square_list = []
    for i in range(1,n+1):
        square_list.append(2 ** i)
    return square_list


print squares(4)

will return

[2,4,8,16]
