C++ Program to Calculate Power

This program calculates the power of a number using a function with a default argument. If the
exponent is not provided, it defaults to 2 (squares the number).

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

// Function to calculate power


double power(double n, int p = 2) {
double result = 1;
for (int i = 1; i <= p; i++) {
result *= n;
}
return result;
}

int main() {
double n;
int p;

cout << "Enter the base number: ";


cin >> n;

cout << "Enter the power (press 0 if you want to use default 2): ";
cin >> p;

if (p == 0) {
cout << n << " raised to default power 2 is " << power(n) << endl;
} else {
cout << n << " raised to power " << p << " is " << power(n, p) << endl;
}

return 0;
}
