Write you own Power without using multiplication(*) and division(/) operators in C Program

Power function is calculated using the times multiple i.e. 5n is 5*5*5… n times. For this function, to work properly without using multiplication(*) and division(/) operators we will use nested loops that add the numbers n number of time.

Example

#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() {    int a= 4 , b = 2;    if (b == 0)       cout<<"The answer is"<<1;    int answer = a;    int increment = a;    int i, j;    for(i = 1; i < b; i++) {       for(j = 1; j < a; j++) {          answer += increment;       }       increment = answer;    }    cout<<"The answer is "<<answer;    return 0; }

Output

The answer is 16
