Thread: Some basic things

Yes, it does break after each case, that's why I wasn't sure. I think I get the code. vowels ++ means it will add +1 to the vowels integer, it seems? And can I use something similar to your code for the a^b exercise? (For example for printing the result, or any variables that need to be declared?)

I hope I am not bothering you by all these questions, but everything you said so far has been really helpful already.

Yes, that is correct.

Abda92 posted an excellent code. Basically just multiply againt the same variable X number of times:

Code:

int num = 10;
// Let's do 10 ^ 5
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) num *= num;

Reads: While i < 5 (starting from 0), multiply num against num and store the result in num.

Not at all. That's why we're here - to help!
