Answer 1

You have plenty of both semantic and syntactic errors:

1. You've forgot to #include <stdio.h> for necessary printf(), scanf(), etc.

2. option = 3 assigns the option variable to integer 3, whereas your work was to compare through the relational operator ==. So, change all the expressions from x = N to x == N.

3. You must use & to point to the address when using scanf() for integers.

4. Replace the factorial counter with this:

   int temp = 1;
   
   while (temp++ < n)
       p *= temp;
   

5. ans = base ^ exp, here ^ is called exclusive OR, it's not the sign of mathematical power. Replace this with:

   double ans = pow(base, exp);
   printf("%d ^ %d is %.2lf
   ", base, exp, ans);
