How do I Raise one number to the power of another number?

Hello:
I need to convert a negative thermister probe reading from a PicoBoard into a postive linear temperature reading.  To do that I need to raise one variable to the power of a number.  Could someone give me some pointers on doing this?

THANKS

How about...

for y as the answer, x as the number, and i as the power being raised to...

set   y  to   x    )>

repeat ((   i  -   1  ))      )>
set   y  to ( y  *   x  )) )> >
