For that output, I don't think you need the 2nd for loop as the base is a constant. Also, base times exponent isn't going to provide the desired output.

Oh ok:o
The base multiplied by itself should provide the result.

eg

3^4 = 3*3*3*3
3^5 = 3*3*3*3*3 //base multiplied by itself depending on min and max.
