why this is happening with pow function 10^x function

[jake eum]

jegop(10,10) should not looks like that

do u know why?

int jegop(int a, int b){
    if( b ==0) return 1;
	int i;
    int c=0;
    
	c=a;
    
	for( i = 0 ; i < b - 1 ; i++ ){
        
		c = c * a;
        
	}
    
	return c;
    
}

int main (int argc, const char * argv[])
{
    cout << jegop(10,9) << " and " << jegop(10,10) << " and " << jegop(10,7) << endl;
}

1000000000 and 1410065408 and 10000000

I expect your system's signed int values cannot hold the number 10,000,000,000

Yes, moschops is right! try long long

[Abraham9009]

int type holds up to 32627, you need a long type.

[viliml]

No, short holds to 32627, while int holds up to 2147483647! And, long long can hold over 10^20!

[Peter87]

How much the different types can hold is implementation defined.

Isn't it based on the bit count?
