What do last few opcodes of a smart contract do? [duplicate]

Question

This question already has an answer here:

• What is the cryptic part at the end of a solidity contract bytecode? 1 answer

I built a sample smart contract, then I looked at the opcodes, and always found similar opcodes at the end - for all samples I tried - like below.

a1  log1
65 62 7a 7a 72 30 58  push6 627a7a723058
20  sha3
8b  dup12

Nowhere in the contract refers (JUMP) to these instructions, so I am wondering why they are here, and what they do.

Any ideas? Thanks

Update: below is the source code of my sample.

pragma solidity ^0.4.23;

contract sample {
    uint public a = 2;

    function exp(uint256 input) public {
        a = a ** input;
    }
}
