Since I haven't written anything valuable for a long time and still have no ideas how to fix it, here is an example of how bash can actually help you quickly get values of two to the power of something. So, here we go
pg@dana:~$ for i in {1..100}; do calc "2^$i" | xargs echo; done
2
4
8
16
32
64
128
256
512
1024
2048
4096
8192
16384
32768
65536
<...>
1267650600228229401496703205376
Just in case you want to get to the bottom of it, this mini-script uses:
-- my favorite calc application (package name apcalc)
-- cycles (for ... ; do... ; done)
-- ranges ({1..100})
-- redirection with xargs ( | xargs echo)
Enjoy your Linux!
PS: 'Round numbers' in relation to 2^X is actually an inside joke from the times when I couldn't afford to rent my own flat and had to share
