Help in exercise for loop

[buran]

well, it can be simplified to:

base = int(input("choose a power base: "))
exp = int(input("choose a power exponent: "))
result = 1
  
for _ in range(exp+1):
    result *= base
print(result)

also, it looks like you are using python2
check https://python-forum.io/Thread-Python3-2...-raw-input
and you really should be using python3

I'm using python2 because is the one that's using the course that I'm taking, maybe if I used python3 I wouldn't learn the lesson properly. If you tell me that it's better to use python3 anyway I will change it (as I don't understand the differences)

For the query you gave me the result is not correct as the program is changing the base for the new one in each iteration.

Thanks

The reason - python2 support ends 1 January 2020. python3 is the future. It is explained in the link I shared (at the bottom)

I made a mistake, not to change the range you used. It should be

base = int(input("choose a power base: "))
exp = int(input("choose a power exponent: "))
result = 1
   
for _ in range(exp):
    result *= base
print(result)

Thank, now it's correct.

I will keep with python2 as the courses I'm currently doing are with that program and I don't know if there are better courses than those.
