_pow(float x, float y)

[yatici]

how can I do this? It is easy with the integer powers with recursion but how can I get 2^(0.125) for example.

I don't want to use cmath

An integer cannot handle exponents. use float or double

a^b = c
b ln(a) = ln(c)
exp( b ln(a) ) = c
You could use Taylor for the logarithm.
