This program takes two numbers from the user (a base number and an exponent) and calculates the power. Power of a number = base^exponent The above technique works only if the exponent is a positive integer. If you need to find the power of a number with any real number as an exponent, you can use pow() function. #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { int exponent; float base, result = 1; cout << "Enter base and exponent respectively: "; cin >> base >> exponent; cout << base << "^" << exponent << " = "; while (exponent != 0) { result *= base; --exponent; } cout << result; return 0; }
