Nested While HELP!
The code only executes the nested while once.. why??
int main()
{
int base, expo, power;
while (base!=0 && expo!=0)
{
count = 0;
cout<<"Enter Base: ";
cin>>base;
cout<<"Enter Exponent: ";
cin>>expo;
while(count!=expo)
{
power=base*base;
count++;
}
cout<<"Power: "<<power<<endl;
}
getch();
}
//if i put base = 5 and expo = 3 , the power displayed is still 25
int main()
{
int base, expo, power;
while (base!=0 && expo!=0)
{
count = 0;
cout<<"Enter Base: ";
cin>>base;
cout<<"Enter Exponent: ";
cin>>expo;
while(count!=expo)
{
power=base*base;
count++;
}
cout<<"Power: "<<power<<endl;
}
getch();
}
//if i put base = 5 and expo = 3 , the power displayed is still 25
Your outer
base and expo are uninitialized.
You're depending on the unitialized values of base and expo to be non-zero for the body of the while statement to execute.

while loop is also defective. base and expo are uninitialized.
