In this article I describe powers of numbers. I think we are all familiar with powers of numbers in mathematics. But now you can learn about them in a programming language. So let us first all understand powers of numbers.

A number has two things, a base and an exponent. An exponent tells you how many times the base is used as a factor and their product is called the power of the number.

Use the following procedure to create a power app.

Step 1

First of all you have to create a New Window Store Application.

Step 2

Write the following simple XAML code for "Mainpage.Xaml" (that is available in Solution Explorer):

<Page

x:Class="Power_app.MainPage"

xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"

xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"

xmlns:local="using:Power_app"

xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"

xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"

mc:Ignorable="d">

<Grid Background="Red">

<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<ColumnDefinition Width="233*"/>

<ColumnDefinition Width="142*"/>

<ColumnDefinition Width="204*"/>

<ColumnDefinition Width="787*"/>

</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>

<Grid.RowDefinitions>

<RowDefinition Height="78*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="49*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="43*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="40*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="38*"/>

<RowDefinition Height="520*"/>

</Grid.RowDefinitions>

<TextBlock Text="Power app" Foreground="White" FontSize="20" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="2"></TextBlock>

<TextBlock Text="Enter Number" Foreground="White" FontSize="15" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="2"></TextBlock>

<TextBox x:Name="textbox1" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="2" Width="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="32" ></TextBox>

<TextBlock Text="Enter Power" Foreground="White" FontSize="15" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Grid.Column="1" Grid.Row="3"></TextBlock>

<Button x:Name="button1" Content="Click" Click="Button1_Click" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="4" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Bottom" Background="Yellow" Foreground="Black" Width="120" Height="38" />

<TextBox x:Name="textbox2" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="3" Width="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left" VerticalAlignment="Top" Height="32" ></TextBox>

<TextBlock x:Name="text1" Foreground="White" FontSize="15" FontWeight="ExtraBold" Grid.Column="3" Grid.Row="3" Width="200" HorizontalAlignment="Left" ></TextBlock>

</Grid>

</Page>

Step 3

Now write the following C# code for the button within "Mainpage.Xaml.cs":

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.IO;

using System.Linq;

using Windows.Foundation;

using Windows.Foundation.Collections;

using Windows.UI.Xaml;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Controls.Primitives;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Data;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Input;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Media;

using Windows.UI.Xaml.Navigation;

namespace Power_app

{

public sealed partial class MainPage : Page

{

public MainPage()

{

this.InitializeComponent();

}

protected override void OnNavigatedTo(NavigationEventArgs e)

{

}

private void Button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)

{

int num = 0, pow = 0;

int sum = 1;

num = Convert.ToInt32(textbox1.Text);

pow = Convert.ToInt32(textbox2.Text);

for (int i = 1; i <= pow; i++)

{

sum = sum * num;

}

text1.Text = sum.ToString();

}

}

}

Step 4

Run your app
