What does this function do exactly ? int power(int x, int y){ int result=0; for(int i=1; i<=y; i++) result *= x; return result; }

Result in this case will be0 as the initialized value of Result is0

the function will return value of result =0

It will return0 .Because result initial value is zero.

The function does finding the yth power of x.However since the result is initialized to zero the value will be zero always.

result=0

because result initial value is 0
