Create your on "power" function.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

/*Making my own power function.*/

float power(float base, float exponent)
{
    int x = 1;

    while(exponent > x)
    {
        base = base * base;
        x++;
    }

    return base;
}

int main()
{
    cout << power(3, 2) << endl;

    return 0;
}
