I suddenly realised i mixed code from a plain square system with the generic exponential modulus system.

Here is the code, what it does is encode numbers in an exponential modulus base. So it is basicly a numbersystem of my own you do not need to write out + ^ and exponent because the numbersystem create unique values for every natural number.

Well without the + ^ it is hard to read but so are binary, ternary and hexadecimal. I think the requirment for a numbersystem is that it have a working arithmetic, and mine have.

So here is the working code, to write out exponential modulus number for and exponent.

#!/usr/bin/python
import math
# Function definition is here
def sq(number):
   
      exp=1
      factor=2
      multip=math.pow(2,exponent)
      print(x,"= ", end="")
      while number>=multip:
         while exp<=number:
            factor+=1
            exp=math.pow(factor,exponent)
         factor-=1	
         print(factor,"^",exponent,"+",sep="",end="")
         exp=math.pow(factor,exponent)
         number=number-exp
         exp=1
         factor=1
      print(number)

#Set exponent here      
exponent=2
print("Exp=x^",exponent,sep="")
#Set range of numbers x
for x in range (1,100):
      sq(x)
