| Post subject: | Function and Procedure: Without Exponential Operator? |
Problem: The program needs to use a function named Power that raises its first parameter (a real value) to the power indicated by the second parameter (an integer), without using the exponential operator (**). The function will return the result. Issue: I can achieve this WITH the use of the exponential operator, but completely confused without it. I would appreciate it if someone could help me with this problem and explain how they came to their conclusion so I can avoid this issue in the future if at all possible. Bonus: Change the function into a procedure that returns the result of power operation into a third parameter. 4.0.4c[/b] |

The idea is to implement the exponential operator as a Power function, so you should start with the definition -- how is the ** operator defined (what exactly does it do)? |
