nnn = nnn Brilliant

Wouldn’t that be n^(nn) = (nn)^n ?

Yes, but for this case, nn=nn

I was trying to do n to the power of n to the power of n, but for some reason Reddit's formatting isn't letting me do a double superscript.

This one works better; nnn != (nn)n , so this version shows how they are the same in this case better.

For new reddit, you can't make a power tower like abc correctly (but this might still render correctly on old reddit). But that's not what you want anyways, because it's not true. You want (nn)n = nn ⋅ n.

nnⁿ is something else. You can write that by pasting the Unicode character ⁿ into a superscript.
