need to do a power function of any number to any power WITHOUT using the power key
aka i need to replicate the power function using only loops and multiplication

but i don't know how to tell MATLAB to multiply a number by itself n times
Homework Equations
for loops
The Attempt at a Solution
Code:
num = input(' value? ')
n = input( ' power? ')
for num = 1:n
num = num*num;
end
disp(num)
