Need help on another problem for the Deitel & Deitel C++ Ed2, write a function integerPower( base , exponent ) that returns the value for example integerPower( 3 , 4 ) = 3*3*3*3 .. do not use any math library functions.. use a for or while loop to control the calculation Cheers Stephen and if poss tell me how easy you found the problem and what experience you have.. its just a guide Edited by - StephenNitro on 10/15/00 10:07:29 AM

something like this...


void int integerPower(base, exponent)
{
if (exponent == 0)
return 1;
else if (exponent == 1)
{
return (base += base);
else
return (base += integerPower(base, exponent - 1));
}

I hope this is it.

Sorry mate that didn''t work for me.. also i need it with a for or while loop not a recursive function

Cheers for the help though

int IntegerPower (int x, int y)
{
int r = 1;
for (i = 0; i < y; i++)
r *= x;

return r;
}

Is that all you wanted?

Cheers bishop, works fine now..
In my version that wasn''t working the r was set to 0

Thanks for help

Cheers
