     for(a=0; a<=maximum; a++)
    {
        answer = base*answer;
}

    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.
