Write a C++ program that uses the statements in Exercise 3.7 to calculate x raised to the y power. The program should have a while repetition statement.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

```
// Raise x to the y power.
#include
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int x; // base
int y; // exponent
int i; // counts from 1 to y
int power; // used to calculate x raised to power y

i = 1; // initialize i to begin counting from 1
power = 1; // initialize power

cout << "Enter base as an integer: "; // prompt for base
cin >> x; // input base

cout << "Enter exponent as an integer: "; // prompt for exponent
cin >> y; // input exponent
```
