Exponents in C++?

I just recently started learning C++ and I'm trying to write my first basic program. I decided to make one that would calculate the future value of an annuity when the user enters the present value, interest rate, and time.


Here's the code for the program. (I couldn't put the whole code, so I stripped out all the couts and cins.) The problem is in the 8th line with text in it. I need to make FV = PV * (1 + interest)^months. For some reason I can't use the ^ symbol for exponents.





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


using namespace std;


int main()


{


string exit;


typedef float f;


f PV, interest, months, FV;





FV = PV * (1 + interest)





cout %26lt;%26lt; "The future value of your deposit will be: $" %26lt;%26lt; FV %26lt;%26lt;endl;





cin%26gt;%26gt;exit;


return 0;


}

Exponents in C++?
use the math.h library





pow()
Reply:use: f(x)pow(exponent)
Reply:you us math or you do it manually





base, more ,x,y as int





base= 1000$


more= 1000 depot each year


x= 1,065


y=10 years





i=0;


base = base * x


for (i%26lt;y;i++)


{


base = base + more


base * x


}











look like that have fun


if you dont use labrary it take less place and it will run faster
