What is wrong with this code?

Question

I was trying to make exponentation, "wynik" means "result" in my language. "Wynik to" means "The result is". The problem is that when i run the code the result always equals 0. Why?

#include <iostream>
using namespace std

int main() {
int a,b, wynik;
cin >> a;
cin >> b;
for(int i=1; i<=b; b--)
{ wynik*= a;
}
cout << "Wynik to: " << wynik;
return 0;
}

Answer 1

if you initialize wynik with 1, it seems to work.

int a, b, wynik=1;

If you use a variable although you haven't given a value to it yet, strange stuff happens.

Answer 5

I showed the code in description but i can copy it again

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int a,b, wynik;
cin >> a;
cin >> b;
for(int i=1; i<=b; b--)
{ wynik*= a;
}
cout << "Wynik to: " << wynik;
return 0;
}
