JAVA "to the power of"

Sup /prog/?

I know this is a retarded question, but I need some help with a method I need to write. The method parameters are a double and an int (a and b, respectively)

I need to write a for loop in the method that raises a (the double) to the power of b (the int)

How the fuck do I do this?? Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but I'm burnt out from finals

>>10
But that's not the only limit.

lim_x→+00^x = 0
lim_x→+0x⁰ = 1

Looks like most programming languages define 0⁰ = 1, though, so yeah, >>1 is better off doing that.
