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

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...
