Cmath
Cmath is a library that is used to perform mathematical functions in C++ programs. You could always create functions of your own to perform the tasks in this library (when you learn functions down the line). For a more complete listing of functions available inside the cmath library click here
Raising a number to a power
Raising a number to a power is very easy in C++ using the Cmath library. The reference linked above should show you examples. For powers you would use pow(number, powerRaisedTo); as your command.
