Any simpler way towards "To the power of..." in DOS?

[tinfanide]

Code: Select all

@ECHO OFF

CALL :ToPower 3 2
GOTO :EOF

:ToPower
SETLOCAL ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

SET /A n=1
FOR /L %%A IN (1,1,%2) DO SET /A n=!n!*%1
ECHO !n!

ENDLOCAL
GOTO :EOF

Any simpler way in DOS?

I'm not sure this will help tinfanide, it's a bit complex, I'm sorry I have little time

Thanks Aacini

The simpler way is this:

Code: Select all

:ToPower base power

SET n=1
FOR /L %%A IN (1,1,%2) DO SET /A n*=%1
ECHO %n%
GOTO :EOF

Yes, no need to use EnableDelayedExpansion.
And still reading those complicated codes... hardest ever to me...
