Write a method IntegerPower( base, exponent )

Try:

using System;

class Test

{

static void Main()

{

int b, e;

Console.Write("Enter base : ");

int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out b);

Console.Write("Enter exponent : ");

int.TryParse(Console.ReadLine(), out e);

Console.WriteLine("{0} to the power {1} = {2}", b, e, IntegerPower(b, e));

Console.ReadKey();

}

static int IntegerPower(int b, int e)

{

if (e < 1) throw new ArgumentException("Exponent must be positive");

int power = 1;

int count = 1;

while (count <= e)

{

power *= b;

count++;

}

return power;

}

Note that 'base' is a keyword in C# so I've used 'b' and 'e' as the parameter names rather than 'base' and 'exponent'.
