Write a C++ program that uses the statements to calculate x raised to the y power. The program should have a while iteration statement.

Question

```
// Exercise 4.8 Solution: power.cpp
// Raise x to the y power.
#include
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
```

Answer 1

Enter base as an integer: 2
Enter exponent as an integer: 3
