1) This code calculates the power of a number (N raised to the power P) using a custom function called `power()`. It takes two integers as input, computes the result using a loop, and prints the output. 2) Hints: - The loop in `power()` runs exactly P times, multiplying the result by N each time. - Make sure to initialize `result` to 1, as multiplying by 0 would always give 0.
