Power by Repeated Multiplication Programming Challenge

Problem

Compute base to the power exponent by multiplying base by itself exponent times in a loop. Any number to the power 0 is 1.

Implement power(base, exponent).

base: The base. exponent: The exponent (zero or positive).

Return base raised to exponent.

-10 ≤ base ≤ 10; 0 ≤ exponent ≤ 18

Example 1

Input:
base = 2
exponent = 10

Expected output:
expected = 1024

Input:
long long base = 2;
long long exponent = 10;

Expected output:
long long expected = 1024;

Input:
long base = 2;
long exponent = 10;

Expected output:
long expected = 1024;

2 multiplied by itself 10 times is 1024.

Example 2

Input:
base = 5
exponent = 0

Expected output:
expected = 1

Input:
long long base = 5;
long long exponent = 0;

Expected output:
long long expected = 1;

Input:
long base = 5;
long exponent = 0;

Expected output:
long expected = 1;

Anything to the power 0 is 1.
