Write a Program in C++ That Raise x to The y Power

// Raise x to the y power. 

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

   unsigned int i = 1; // initialize i to begin counting from 1

   unsigned int power = 1; // initialize power

   cout << "Enter base as an integer: ";  // prompt for base

   unsigned int x; // base 

   cin >> x; // input base

   cout << "Enter exponent as an integer: "; // prompt for exponent

   unsigned int y; // exponent

   cin >> y; // input exponent

   // count from 1 to y and multiply power by x each time

   while ( i <= y ) 

   {

      power *= x;

      ++i;

   } // end while

   cout << power << endl; // display result

} // end main
