Program to find power of a number

/**
 * C program to find power of any number
 */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <math.h> //Used for pow() function

int main()
{
    double x, y, power;

    // Reads two numbers from user to calculate power
    printf("Enter base: ");
    scanf("%lf", &x);
    printf("Enter exponent: ");
    scanf("%lf", &y);

    // Calculates x^y 
    power = pow(x, y);

    printf("x ^ y = %.2lf", power);

    return 0;
} 

Before you move on to next program or exercise learn how to find power using other programming methods -

Enter base: 5
Enter exponent: 3
x ^ y = 125

Happy coding ;)
