Raising a number n to a power p is the same as multiplying n by itself p times. Write a overloaded function power() having two versions for it. The first version takes double n and int p and returns a double value. Another version takes takes int n and int p returning int value. Use a default value of 2 for p in case p is omitted in the function call.

#include<iostream.h>

#include<conio.h>

                              

//first function

int power(int n, int p=2)

{

int res  = 1;

for(int i = 1; i < = p ; i++)

res = res * n;

                      

return res;

}

//second function

double power(double n, int p = 2)

{

double res = 1.0;

                   

for(int i = 1; i < = p ; i++)

res = res * n;

                         

return res;

}

void main()

{

int value, powr, result;

/* Calculate the square of an integer */

cout<< "\n Enter a value (any integer ) to find it's square:";

                                                                                 /* Calculate n to the power m */
