C PRIMER PLUS（第六版编程练习）9.11编程练习_8题

/*第6章的程序清单6.20中，power()函数返回一个double类型数的正整数次幂。改进该函数，使其能正确计算负幂。另外，函数要处理0的任何次幂
次幂都为0，任何数的0次幂都为1（函数应报告0的0次幂未定义，因此把该值处理为1）。要使用一个循环，并在程序中测试该函数。

#include<stdio.h>
double power(double n, int p);
int main(void)
{
	double x, xpow;
	int exp;
	printf("Enter an number and the positive integer power");
	printf("to which \nthe number will be raised .Enter q");
	printf("to quit.\n");
	while (scanf("%lf%d", &x, &exp) == 2)
	{
		xpow = power(x, exp);
		printf("%.3g to the power %d is  %.5g\n ", x, exp, xpow);
		printf("Enter next pair of number or q to quit.\n");
	}
	printf("Hope you enjoyed this power trip --bye!\n");
	return 0;
}
double power(double n, int p)
{
	double pow = 1;
	int i;
	for (i = 1; i <= p; i++)
		pow *= n;
	return pow;
}
