Python Program to Compute the Power of a Number

 

Example 1: Calculate power of a number using a while loop

base = 3

exponent = 4

result = 1

while exponent != 0:

    result *= base

    exponent-=1

print("Answer = " + str(result))

Example 2: Calculate power of a number using a for loop

base = 3

exponent = 4

result = 1

for exponent in range(exponent, 0, -1):

    result *= base

print("Answer = " + str(result))

Example 3: Calculate the power of a number using pow() function

base = 3

exponent = -4

result = pow(base, exponent)

print("Answer = " + str(result))
