C++ Program to Calculate X^Y

[sicarie]

it should not be correct..
becoz the output should be:
1
4
9
16
25
36
49
64
81
100

?

No, not the way you have it written. You do nothing to 'y' through the whole thing. So it is always 1. You need to increment y.

im really stuck,i dunno how to fix it

[way87]

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h>

int main (void)
{
double x;
double y;
double result;

printf("Enter an integer for x\n");
scanf("%d",&x);

printf("Enter an integer for y\n");
scanf("%d",&y);

result = pow(x,y);

printf("x raised to power y is %f\n",result);

return 0;

}

it not works,i input 8 as x and 2 as y,the output is 1...

First, please use CODE tags unless your code is something like one function call or some obviously readable block. Be on the safe side as a beginner and always use them.

Next, why declare x and y as doubles if you treat them as integers in your program? Shouldn't you rather treat them as doubles? For example, your scanf format specifier would be %f, not %d, right? (You should be verifying this with a C reference that you can easily google. Or type in "man scanf" in Google).
