Help in exercise for loop

[buran]

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)

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

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.

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)
