HoldForm does not prevent evaluation

Question

I'm still relatively new here, and I'm not a native speaker. I hope, I don't make any obvious mistakes when asking this question. For instance, I simply had no idea how to title it accurately. I'm sorry. I'm open to suggestions.

I'd like to make the following list: 2⁰, 2¹, 2², 2³ ...

I'd like to print it out on paper, eventually.

I have tried a lot, for instance: Table[HoldForm[2]^n, {n, 0, 10}] or HoldForm[2]^# &[Table[n, {n, 0, 10}]]

which both give me: { 1, 2, 2², 2³ } ...

Now, that's a good start, but it's not exactly what I need. I need the first two expressions unevaluated, too (2⁰, 2¹).

Do you have any ideas?

Kind regards

Answer 1

I believe this

Table[HoldForm[2^n]/.n->i,{i,0,4}]

gives you your result in the form you wish

Answer 2

A few additional alternatives:

2^HoldForm /@ Range[0, 4]

Table[With[{i = i}, HoldForm[2^i]], {i, 0, 4}]

Answer 3

Pure function work.

HoldForm[2^#] & /@ Range[0, 10]
