Power and faculty
Write a program that takes two numbers a, b from the user and calculates a^b and b^a
Experts: Write a program that calculates the factorial of the user input.
###Hints###
Experts: The factor changes in each step.
##Solution##
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void) {
int a;
int b;
int sol;
printf("Insert two numbers seperated by space: ");
scanf("%d %d", &a, &b);
sol = 1;
/* a^b */
for (int i = b; i > 0; --i)
sol *= a;
printf("a^b:\t%d\n", sol);
/* b^a */
sol = 1;
for (int i = a; i > 0; --i)
sol *= b;
printf("b^a:\t%d\n", sol);
/* a! */
for(sol = 1; a > 1; --a)
sol *= a;
printf("a!:\t%d\n", sol);
/* b! */
for(sol = 1; b > 1; --b)
sol *= b;
printf("b!:\t%d\n", sol);
return 0;
