Cat wrote:Is this just trying to do exponents? Either try "exit /b" for "GOTO :EOF" or:

Code: Select all

@echo off
set base=3
set mult=%base%
set power=3
for /l %%a in (2,1,%power%) do set /a mult*=%base%
echo %mult%
pause

Both ideas untested, though.

@echo off
set base=3
set power=3
Set /A init=%power%-1
for /l %%a in (%init%,1,%power%) do set /a base*=%base%
echo %base%
pause
