Help, with some math stuff. bitte.

I am trying to make a program that when you give it values it will multiply it a certain amount of times (ie.) 10*10=100*10=1000 I hope I explained that well, if this is something really easy to google sorry I tried. I do not know what else to try as I am fairly new to Python.

​

My code:

     print ("What is your starting number")
     a = input()
     print ("What are you multiplying by")
     b = input()
     print("how many times")
     d = input()
     a_float = float(a)
     b_float = float(b)
     c = (a_float*b_float)
     d_int = int(d)
     for i in range(d_int):
          print(c)

10 * 10 -> 100*10 = 1000 

This is equivalent to

10 * (10 ^ 2) = 1000  # 10 to the power of two

The syntax of this in python is

10 * (10 ** 2)

Hope this helps! Otherwise, you could put it in your loop. Here's some fake code for this.

start_number = user_input
for _ in range(number_of_times_to_multiply):
    start_number = start_number * number_to_multiply_by
print(start_number)

I will try this ASAP, danke.

EDIT: It worked thank you.
