// You cannot do << to the cin, you can do 'cin >> auto a' though but I 
// think it'd be great to initialize int's first and then getting values.
cin<< auto a;
cin<<auto b;

// This way powerMultiply will already have a power of a.
int powerMultiply=a;
// so you need not do it i<b times, you just have to do
// it i < (b-1) times.
for(int i =0;i<b;i++)
{
// This is cool if the above are corrected.
powerMultiply = powerMultiply * b;
// Well you need not print result for every iteration, but cool
// printing everytimee is great for debugging ya know!
std:: cout<< "the result is " powerMultiply<< std::endl;
}
// cin was a great idea, I din't even get it at all :p knuckle head me
// Happy coding! have a great day!

// by the way the following is my way of doing it.
// before executing this code remove the above or
// it may cause errors. 


#include <iostream>

int main() {

  for(int i = 0; i < b; i++) {
    powerMultiply *= a;

  std::cout << "the result is "
    << powerMultiply
