Potentiation help.

[pinebery]

i have x and y reserved as number 1 and 2 ...i managed to make a calculator but can't get the potentiation to work :/

if(symbol=='^')
		{
			
			do{ c=x*x
				result=c*x;
				
				std::cout<<"result is: "<<result<<std::endl;
			}while(result=y);
		
		}
 

i need help with potentiation...i just can't get it to work...
also it must be in a loop..
