To calculate the power of two numbers, you can either implement a function yourself, or use the standard pow() function included in the <math.h> header file: https://en.cppreference.com/w/c/numeric/math/pow

Then you need to multiplicate x for itself n times. Like 5*5*5*5 Just uss a for loop

Try this code #include <stdio.h> int main() { int base,power,i,result=1; printf("enter base and power:"); scanf("%d %d",&base,&power); for(i=1;i<=power;i++) { result=result*base; } printf("%dth power of %d is %d",power,base,result); return 0; }
