Here's a very simple example.

What's 3^3?

Or,

Well it's 3x3x3

Which is 3+3+3, 3 times.

Which is 3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3+3, which is 27.

Which solution do we prefer?

3^3 = 27?

Or

3+3+3

+3+3+3

+3+3+3

=27?

Which one uses more lines?

    I prefer 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1.
