so i'm trying to set up this exponents loop, keep in mind this is my first year in computer science so my knowledge of script is somewhat minimal. basically this assignment (or at least part of it) tells us to have the user enter 2 numbers, (left and right) and to output the correct answer using a loop to calculate. my idea was to use to write a script so the number the user inputs for the right side will determine the number of times the loop runs. this is what i have so far but it's not working. can anyone help please?

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
int left, right;

cout << "Enter left and right side: ";
cin >> left >> right;

for (right;;)

left *= right;


system("pause");
return 0;
}
