Solution Key

def expo(x, n):
    result = 1
    if type(x) == str or type(n) == str:
            return "Enter integer Value!!!!"
    if n == 0:
        return 1
    elif n > 0:
        while n != 0:
            result = result * x
            n -= 1
        return round(result, 2)
    else:
        while n != 0:
            result = result * x
            n += 1
    return round(1/result, 2)


def expofloat(x, n):
    result = 1
    if n > 0:
        r = int(n)
        c = r
        m = n % r
        while r != 0:
            result = result * x
            r -= 1
        p = pow(x, m)
        return round(result * p, 2)

    if n < 0:
        r = int(n)
        c = r
        m = n % r
        while r != 0:
            result = result * x
            r += 1
        p = pow(x, m)
        return round(1/result * p, 2)
