In this code, there is an attempt to calculate 2 to the power of 64 using math.Pow, which returns a float64, and then the result is cast to int32.
However, 2^64 = 18446744073709551616 — a number that does not fit into an int32 (maximum int32 is 2147483647). When casting a large number to int32, overflow occurs, and the result will be 0, because 2^64 is exactly 1 << 64, and int32 only stores 32 bits.
Thus, the program will output:
0
If you use int64, there would also be overflow, since 2^64 does not fit into int64 (maximum 2^63-1). math.Pow returns a float64, and casting to an integer type truncates and overflows.
