Calculate the Power of a Number in C

#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
    int base, exp;
    long long result = 1;
    printf("Enter a base number: ");
    scanf("%d", &base);
    printf("Enter an exponent: ");
    scanf("%d", &exp);
    while (exp != 0) {
        result *= base;
        --exp;
    }
    printf("Result= %lld", result);
    return 0;
}

Enter a base number: 2
Enter an exponent: 5
Result= 32

• This program is used to calculate the power of number by using a while loop.
• Two integer variables base and exp are initialized along with a long long type variable result as result = 1.
• The program requests the user to enter a base value and an exponent value and stores them in the variables base and exp using the scanf() functions.
• A while loop is initialized with the condition exp != 0 which states that the iteration will continue until the value of exponent will become 0.
• In every iteration, the base is multiplied with result and stored in result itself and each time the value of exponent is decremented by one.
• After the while condition becomes false, the result is printed.
• The return 0 statement is used to exit the program execution.

#include <math.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    double base, exp, result;
    printf("Enter a base number: "); 
    scanf("%lf", &base);
    printf("Enter an exponent: ");
    scanf("%lf", &exp);
    result = pow(base, exp);
    printf("%.1lf^%.1lf = %.2lf", base, exp, result);  
    return 0;
}

Enter a base number: 3
Enter an exponent: 6
3.0^6.0 = 729.00

• This program is used to calculate the power of number by using the pow() function.
• The double type variables base, exp and result are initialized.
• The program requests the user to enter a base value and an exponent value and stores them in the variables base and exp using the scanf() functions.
• The power is calculated by using the base and exp as the parameters of the pow() function and store the output in the variable result.
• The result is printed and displayed on the screen.
• The return 0 statement is used to exit the program execution.
• The pow() function can calculate the power with a real number as an exponent.
