Is my math wrong?

5*5*5 gave the right result. but 5 to the 3rd power didnt. https://code.sololearn.com/c7ny2MLKqw2u/?ref=app

It's because sololearn's C++ compiler sucks. Try storing it in a float/double, that fixes it.

I checked this code and tried some changes but it always shows 5^3 equals 124. I also want to know Why it shows this output?
