The Power Plant

Mission Briefing

A solar flare knocked out the Math module! The shield generators need power calculations instantly, and you must rapidly recreate the exponent engine from scratch using raw iteration.

The Concept: Looping Logic

Exponentiation (like 2 to the power of 3) is just multiplying a base number by itself a specific number of times. This is the exact definition of a loop!

The Objective

Your function receives a base and an exp (exponent).

1. Return the result of raising base to the power of exp.
2. Do not use Math.pow() or the ** operator. You must use a loop to repeatedly multiply an accumulator.
3. Example: base 2, exp 3 -> 2 * 2 * 2 = 8.
