Can someone please explain the assignment & give me some hints.

The way am thinking to do is like this..

enter ur input:
1024

i take 1024 and do a loop, divide it by 8 until the number is less then 8. when its less then 8. thats power3: 2 returned and goes out of the loop.

i = 0;
while number >=8
power i : number
number = number/8;
i = i + 1;
end

power i : number

If that's it's size, post it here.

If you wanted the math library for example, it would be gcc prog.c -lm That's lowecase "LM" at the end.
-l means link with a library
m means libm.a
Just in case you have other libxxx.a libraries, and you need to know how to get the xxx part on the command line.
