Without using MATH.H's POW(x,y) function and SQRT(x) function, I must create
a calculator that finds powers and roots.

I pretty much have a decent power function, using FOR loops, but I want to
use this function to also find roots.

Here's the code:

double Power    (double num1, double num2);
        {
        int i;

        for (i = 1; i <= num2; i++)
                num1 *= num1;

        return num1;
        }

Thanks in advance,
Paul Seropian
