c++ help

i need someone to tell me how to make potantiation using a loop?

so far i have :
if(symbol=='^')
{

do{


}while

}

also please include a cout<< line

 

Are you trying to Potentiate a Matrix by using a Loop? You'll probably want to use the pow() function; and could you provide an explanation of use...

The while and do-while loops repeat until a certain condition is met.
The for loop repeats for a specific number of times.

Do you know have a number in mind for the loop to occur or is it unknown?

 

well i want to potentiate x and y.
i believe that i must make a third entry, let's say Z, as
Z=x*x
then it repeats y ammount of time

..i sincerealy am mind fucked.
please use a do while or a for while loop and i swear to my razer naga i'll pay you in rsgp.

 

ok, we'll get back to you shortly. happy face and lol we'll help you get un-mind fucked. Our staff basically trips balls all day until they come up with a solution--that's the nature and fun of programming.

 

thank you
also i would liek to learn for future so //comments are welcome too

EDIT:

so far i came up with this...still need a little more with the potentions..

if(operacija=='^')
{ m=1;
do{

m=m+1;
}while(m<=y);



}


EDIT

if(operacija=='^')
{ m=1;
rezultat=x;
do{
rezultat=rezultat*x;

m=m+1;
}while(m<=y-1);
std::cout<<rezultat<<std::endl;



}

took me a while but got it
