FOR and WHILE

[Dangerous Dave]

could anyone convert this FOR LOOP into a WHILE LOOP for me:

for (counter_2 = 0; counter_2 < min_exponent; counter_2 ++)
answer *= base;

this is what i got but i dont think it is right:

while (counter_2 < min_exponent)
{
counter_2 ++;
answer *= base;
}

thanks in advance,
dave.

Have you initialised "counter_2 = 0;" before going into the loop?
